And don’t miss our Second Annual Silent Auction, featuring unique and highly sought-after items — all to benefit the museum's mission.

This event is by donation and open to all. Proceeds support the museum’s educational programs, lecture series, exhibits, field trips, and operating costs — helping us keep the museum free and accessible to everyone.

Parking Tip: Parking is extremely limited at the museum and we kindly ask that guests park at the Gower Street parking lot and walk over to the museum. Please avoid parking on nearby side streets to ensure uninterrupted access for emergency services at the Cannon Beach Fire Department.

This event is part of the Cannon Beach Cottage Tour weekend, and is made possible in part by support from the City of Cannon Beach Tourism & Arts Fund.
