Seaside Museum & Historical Society

What a great museum of local history. Very welcoming and informative.

A nice place to stop and learn about the history of Seaside with a restored beach cottage next door. The exhibits take you through the events and places that made Seaside a great beach destination. The Lewis & Clark Expedition Exhibit tells you about the effort to identify the site of the salt works in Seaside. The other exhibits include the Seaside Signal Newspaper Linotype machine, the 1912 fire that burned through the town, the development of the Prom, old hotels, and much more. The Butterfield Cottage tour shows you the rooms as they were used in a boarding house with a number of vintage exhibits and items. Located on Necanium Drive across from the river and near Broadway. Admission is free and donations are suggested. One of the places to stop and learn about the development of Seaside as a beach destination and to take a tour of an old beach cottage.

We love it, the lady working was wonderful and shared alot of good info! Answered all our questions cheerfully. Really enjoyed the museum. We left a nice donation for it to continue.

Loved the display of history life on the area. Well kept and nicely presented, with friendly local that answered questions and took is to tour the attacked historic cottage. Revoked to visit.

Very interesting facts and the host of the museum was very kind. He even found records of a cousin-in-law's ancestor who helped with the first lumber mill and was in the city counsel.

Wow! Larger than it looks, quite extensive in its descriptions and displays! Major events, earliest visitors, city life, transportation. Seaside has a long history of vacationers, with many unique issues along the way. I learned a lot. Spent about 90 minutes, could've been more. Donation for entry fee.

We loved the museum and it was pretty neat there too one think for sure we love the restaurant there too

What a great history of the seaside good golden days
