Overview
The Kodiak History Museum (formerly the Baranov Museum) is in the Erskine House, a large log building of the early 1800s, one of the oldest buildings in Alaska, in a settlement founded in 1793 as Pavlovsk, the first permanent Russian settlement in North America. Exhibits cover Alutiiq culture, the Russian era, and the 1964 earthquake and tsunami.
