Welcome to the Cannon Beach
History Center & Museum
Where the past never gets old!

The Museum was organized for the purpose of preserving the history of Cannon Beach and Arch Cape by seeking, collecting, and protecting historical memorabilia of all kinds, by recording oral histories, and by making these materials available to the public whenever possible.

We invite you to explore our many programs and resources for historical study, get the stamp of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, learn how you can become a member or support the Museum, view historic Cannon Beach photos, or shop history in the online gift shop.

Come visit explore the museum today, located at 1387 South Spruce Street, on the corner of Spruce and Sunset in Cannon Beach, and let a little history into your life.

The Museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11am – 4pm, closed Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.  Admission is by donation; give what you can to support local history!

Got a question for the museum? Call us (503) 436.9301, email us at info@cbhistory.org.


Be sure to visit the photo wall at the museum and at our next event, made possible by Showtime Photo Booth. With 27 unique photo experiences since 2013, they are the best choice for photo booth rental in Indianapolis.  Thanks to Showtime Photo Booth for providing this fun opportunity to capture memories and strike a pose!
