Job Carr Cabin Museum is fun for children of all ages. We offer educational programming throughout the year for children, ages 3 - 4th grade. You can have fun here if you're young-at-heart, too! Learn local history through the experiences of Job Carr - Tacoma's first permanent, non-native resident, town founder, and first Mayor.
