Welcome to the Job Carr Cabin Museum ­ home of Tacomaıs first
Euro American settler, postmaster and mayor. The museum is a
replica of Jobıs log cabin home built in 1865 and is considered the
birthplace of Tacoma. It is located in Old Town Park, a block from
the original site of the cabin. The cabin offers visitors a unique
experience ­ they can take in the picturesque views of
Commencement Bay, learn more about Jobıs remarkable journey
to Puget Sound, uncover the roots of this grand city, experience
pioneer living and much more. If you are interested in visiting our
diverse neighborhood, plan a trip to the museum as we are the
Old Town Visitorıs Center. The cabin is perfect place to spend
an afternoon with the entire family ­ for residents of Tacoma and
out-of-towners. We also welcome schools, clubs, groups and
civic organizations looking for a fun and educational experience
for their next field trip or engagement. Feel free to stop by during
our regular hours - or call to book a private tour at your convenience.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

Jill M. Kiah-Saslav,
Museum Director
