Living History Museum

The Yap Living History Museum is a multipurpose institution created in 2005. Located in central Colonia, the well-kept museum grounds house several traditional buildings including a men’s house and a meeting house.

YLHM was created to preserve and promote Yapese heritage and history through exhibits and demonstrations of the living culture that still exists on Yap. The museum grounds also serve as a community activity center, hosts the monthly island market and several signature events each year.
