The museum acquired its current 14,500-square-foot (1,350 m2) location on downtown Gig Harbor's Harborview Drive with a $1.5 million gift from a Gig Harbor family. The museum opened there in 2010.
In late 2014 the museum board announced it would host more local cultural events including monthly music concerts in 2015 and a new preschool.
