WE DID IT!
The new hammer is up! Thanks to all our generous donors and hammer fans everywhere, the museum’s landmark 20-foot hammer is back on Main Street.
Explore the world’s first museum dedicated to preserving the history of the hammer. First opened to the public in 2002, the Hammer Museum portrays the complex history of the ordinary tool, making it a top destination for visitors to Haines. The museum’s six galleries feature over 2,500 hammers that provide a unique view of the past. From ancient times to the present day, the hammer tells the story of man’s progress and ingenuity.
