The Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, WA, will be hosting Dog Days of Summer: Pets of the Peninsula, a special exhibition that explores the strong bonds between animals and the human residents of the North Beach Peninsula over time. Not only our beloved pets, but it’s also about the lives of all our special animal neighbors, how they help and influence people, and how we help and influence them in return. Dog Days of Summer will be on view at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum from August 8th through October 31st, 2026. Located at 115 SE Lake Street, Ilwaco, WA, CPHM is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. Admission is free thanks to the Port of Ilwaco and our Rising Tide Members.
