Full Steam Ahead – The New Museum of the North Beach train is nearly here!
Here’s some great news for the many capital foundation donors and volunteer supporters who’ve worked so hard to keep the Museum of the North Beach moving forward:
On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, The Board of Directors of Moclips by the Sea Historical Society (MBTS) & Museum of the North Beach, with Grays Harbor County Building Department approval, broke ground and the building of our new museum is now on a fast-moving track with R. Johnson Construction engineering.
Everyone remembers the sound of the train’s arrival, everybody thinks it’s cool!
We are well on our way to achieving our goal of reconstructing the Moclips NPRY Depot to house the Museum of the North Beach! The New Museum / Moclips NPRY Depot will be a crowning achievement for the North Beach and Grays Harbor County, and a tourist destination like no other. To continue to have a place for both longtime and former residents to catalogue and share their families’ North Beach experiences, with artifacts, documents, and oral stories is very important.
The ground has been broken, soon will come the poring of the foundation, construction has officially begun!
Your continued financial support is what fuels our train.
