Valdez Museum Exhibits

The Valdez Museum's permanent historical exhibits reflect the history of Valdez, the Copper River Valley, and Prince William Sound from the earliest days, when Native Alaskans first occupied the area, to the present day. Exhibits are located in two buildings that are four blocks apart. We recommend that visitors come to the Valdez Museum first for an overview of our history and then visit our Remembering Old Valdez exhibit to gain a broader understanding of the period of time surrounding the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake.
