Museum of the Aleutians
This remarkable museum highlights the cultural, military, and natural history of the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands. You'll find an array of objects representing some of the region's history, from gut parkas and repatriated religious artifacts to original drawings from Captain Cook's third voyage. The exhibits also give glimpses into the Unangax̂ way of life, as well as illustrating the impact of Russian contact and occupation, the gold rush, World War II, the fishing industry, and more. In the summer, the museum sponsors archaeological digs as well as periodic lectures by visiting scientists, historians, and researchers.
