The Kodiak Military History Museum is located in the Ready Ammunition bunker at Miller Point in Fort Abercrombie. This building is several feet thick concrete and is covered with soil. It was completed on 30 December 1943 by Navy SeaBees of CB-43. Located adjacent to the building are remains of two eight inch gun mounts. Portions of the gun barrels are displayed. Some parts of the guns are to be found quite some distance from the original positions as they were destroyed by explosive charge around Thanksgiving 1948 when the Army caretakers left the area.

Several years ago, the State Park Service restored the bunker. It was excavated, waterproofed, and reburied. New exterior doors that almost perfectly match the originals were constructed. The interior was repainted in original colors, after many years of grafiti was sandblasted off.

For information, please call our office at (907) 486-7015 (Alaska Time). Please note: This number does not connect to the museum directly.
