Kodiak Island, sitting off the Southern coast of Alaska in the Kodiak Archipelago, is home to the city of Kodiak, Alaska's largest fishing port, famous for catches of king crab and salmon. The island is also home to the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, which takes up almost two-thirds of the island and protects populations of Kodiak brown bears, all six species of Pacific salmon and 250 species of birds. With a lovely temperate marine climate, Kodiak promises outdoor fun, all year long.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this state park preserves and protects historical structures, and provides a variety of recreational opportunities such as camping, hiking, wildlife viewing and paddling.
we took a taxi to the entry of the park and then walked the very easy and pleasant roadway to the ww2 historic museum and area. You can take a few different trails through the bushland instead of walking the roadway and we did this on the way back to the entry point where our taxi returned a few hours later to collect us. The ww2 museum is not just a quick look ...you need to allow at least an hour or more to take in the various displays and information provided. If you aren't interested in ww2 memorabilia , then you can skip the museum (which would really be a shame) and just walk the lovely trails ...easy walking, easy grades and well maintained paths. we didn't see any bears although I was a bit nervous...but the lookouts from the various high points across the water are just fabulous and I soon forgot to worry about bears. Don't take an organised bus tour...they rush you in and out and you will miss out on so much. Take a taxi/cab and allow a couple of hours at least to appreciate the wonderful place. and if you DO go to the museum, there is a man there ( I think he is the manager or chief volunteer, together with his wife) who has knowledge that will hold you spellbound. Not just for that area but for Alaska's pivotal role in ww2. Very interesting and such a clear explanation. Hope you go and hope you allow plenty of time.

This is the oldest Orthodox parish in North America although the church itself is fourth generation, the previous building having been destroyed by fire in the 1940's. It is small and the interior is a beautiful sight with its traditional Russian Orthodox icons, pictures and colours. The local priest was on hand to explain the history of the church and showed us the wooden reliquary that holds the remains of St Herman - a Russian monk who came to Kodiak Island in 1794 and who is now the patron saint of Alaska for the Russian Orthodox Church. There is a glass case holding his monastic hat and the large iron cross he wore in life. The church is on a hillside overlooking the town of Kodiak - it was a wonderful place to visit.

The Alutiiq Museum preserves and shares the heritage and culture of the Alutiiq people. We are a small, but Nationally-accredited Alaska Native-run museum, archaeological repository, and culture center. Our gallery features exhibits telling the Alutiiq story - the incredible history of the Indigenous, coastal Alaska Native people of the stormy Gulf of Alaska. The Alutiiq Museum Store features an unexpectedly rich offering of authentic Alaska Native art and jewelry, that supports the work of artists from around the archipelago. Our educational programs explore traditional and contemporary Alutiiq arts and skills, and they are open to everyone. We are committed to creating respect and enthusiasm for Alutiiq culture among people of all heritages. Takina! You should Come!
Well worth a visit. Yes it's a small museum but its engaging exhibits use multimedia as well as interactive activities to tell the history and culture of the Alutiiq on Kodiak, so there is something for everyone in varied group. The gift shop has reasonably priced, authentic jewelry.
