Job Carr Cabin Museum

Job Carr Cabin Museum JCCM uses Job Carr's story to open the door to Tacoma's history for students and our community. We hope you'll visit us soon.

Job Carr Cabin Museum is housed in a replica of Tacoma's first permanent non-Native residence, on land that traditionally belonged to the Puyallup people. It was built in 2000, near the original site of Carr’s frontier home. Through our interactive living history museum and programming, we educate students and visitors about the people, industries, and events that shaped our neighborhood – and Tac

oma as a whole. We aim to portray an accurate account of Tacoma’s non-Native settlement's history and its effects. If our regular hours don't work with your schedule, call the Cabin to set up a time that will. Admission is FREE, but we do accept donations!

As summer's warm weather continues, we're loving these 1908 images from the Tacoma Public Library archives of Tacoma's first indoor public swimming pool. The Nerides Salt Water Baths opened at Point Defiance in May 1906. Admission was 10 cents including rental swim suits. The pool closed in 1932.
