Fascinating museum in the beautiful Whittier
Absolutely incredible little museum curated by a true expert in Alaskan history. Beautiful exhibits and artifacts and a wealth of information on Alaska in WWII, aviation, the town of Whittier, the natives, and exploration of the region. The museum director and historian, Ted Spencer, is a fascinating person to speak with if you happen to be there when he is. He knows everything you could possibly want to know about Alaska! Prepare to want to spend at least an hour reading all the exhibits. I donated more in the hope that it will be around for many years to come!

LOVED LOVED this museum!
I am so glad we didnt linger on the cruise ship and miss this. 5 dollar bargin! We thought that this small Museum would take care of the couple of hours we had in the morning between the time we left the cruise ship and took the 26 Glacier tour at noon. We were so very impressed with the way the voices of the past spoke through this. It is not an interactive museum and not for non-readers. But the history presented was very well done and my husband and I who love museums and history felt like we came away with a better understanding of this area of the world and the challenges it has faced. The only downside is getting there was a bit confusing but the town is so small that you cant get too lost.
