About Kodiak History Museum

The Kodiak History Museum sits in a National Historic Landmark building that dates to about 1810 and is one of four surviving Russian-built structures in Alaska. Its exhibits and collections cover the Kodiak Archipelago and the Aleutian Islands, with emphasis on the Russian and early American periods. The museum was known as the Baranov Museum until 2019, and a 2019 redesign added community-focused permanent exhibits.
