Hanthorn Cannery Museum

I'm not sure I would call this a museum as much as a display. The area is not heated and it was very cold the day we went. They have a few films on loop discussing the history of canning, but it was too cold to sit and watch them. We wandered around 2-3 rooms and found ourselves in what appeared to be the parking garage. If there was a self-guided tour handout I missed it.

This was a fun, interesting, small museum about a very local industry. However, it was hard to tell where it actually started (ie where the entrance was meant to be), and thus hard to follow the story if you are very unfamiliar with the fishing and canning industry. It is donation based and kept up by former employees is my understanding so that is very cool.

Loved the visit. Lots to see. Don't drive by without stopping. Highly recommend. Definitely shows history of the canning business and the people who worked in it.

This is a really cool hidden away museum of fishing cannery that used to be located on this pier where Rogue Ale house and Coffee Girls sit. There's some really neat history and machinery here. Have a beer at Rogue then go wander through. It's totally free.

An unusual and intriguing setting for a museum. Informal setting in an old Bumble Bee tuna canning factory on Pier 39. Industrial history about the equipment and the people of the industry.
