About this place
A museum in Valdez presenting the area's history through exhibits and collections. Families can learn about Alaska's Indigenous peoples, the gold rush era, bush pilots, the 1964 earthquake that reshaped the town, and the 1989 oil spill. The museum shows an award-winning documentary and displays the Old Town Model in a separate annex. Objects from the original 1901 museum collection, saved when the earthquake forced the community to relocate, form part of what visitors see today.
If you are a member here
A membership to Valdez Museum & Historical Archive carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
