Port Gamble is an unincorporated community located on the northwestern shore of the Kitsap Peninsula, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The National Historic site itself is 120 acres and is made up of turn-of-the-century buildings that house shops, tree-lined streets, and historic New England style homes.
Visitors to Port Gamble can shop, dine, or get out on the trails at the town's privately owned 4300-acre tree farm. The town also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, the biggest of which is the annual three day long Old Mill Days festival in early July.
