Anderson Island in south Puget Sound is a small, quiet place reached by a 52 car ferry. Its history has been loving recorded by Hazel Heckman in her charming book "Island in the Sound" and in keeping with preserving the history of the island, the Anderson Island Historical Society maintains the old Johnson Farm and runs the Gift Shop to help support their efforts.
The Gift Shop, kept going by dedicated volunteers, is located in a former chicken coop and carries an eclectic selection of merchandise which includes consignments from the islanders, typical gift shop fare and handmade crafts. I feel pleased that some of my pottery is among the handmade items that can be found in the shop.
The Gift Shop is generally open Saturdays and Sundays, April to mid December.
