Due to necessary structural repairs to the museum's building in Moclips, with a 22-year history, the museum has temporarily relocated to its historic Dorothy Anderson Cabin on Meriweather Street in Seabrook. This is to protect treasured archives and artifacts from the North Beach area, which includes Seabrook.
You can visit this 'mini' museum for a fascinating look at the past, documented, curated, and preserved exclusively by volunteers who manage and operate this Moclips-by-the-Sea Historical Society IRS 501(c)3 entity. Look for intriguing historical content to be rotated and exhibited on a regular basis. There are also unique and replica gifts to purchase, including beautiful glass floats specifically designed and handblown for the museum. All monies go to operating the museum.
The museum is currently open on weekends from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM or whenever the flag is flying and the A-board is welcoming you to the cabin. Speaking of the Dorothy Anderson Cabin, it was once part of a set of seven cabins historically located in Ocean City along the winding bend where wood carvings stand today. The owner of this land back in the day wanted these cabins off his property, so he proceeded to intentionally light them up and burn them down. That's when volunteers from the society and museum 'rescued' the Dorothy Anderson Cabin, which was the last one standing.
Today, the future holds great excitement for the Moclips-by-the-Sea Historical Society and the museum. The ultimate goal is to build a replica of the 1905 Northern Pacific Railway (NPRY) Depot that once stood in Moclips and was the westernmost end of the NPRY line. Once built, this replica will become the permanent home of the Museum of the North Beach. You can find out more here, Northern Pacific Railway Moclips Depot Rebuilding Project.
