VALDEZ MUSEUM
Nostalgic and sometimes humorous museum dedicated to the oil disaster in Valdez, tracing the events and its consequences
The Valdez Museum is divided into two locations: on Egan Drive, in the downtown area, where it traces the history of the town, the Copper River Basin and Prince William Sound. An exhibit on the life of the native communities, the gold rush, the history of the trans-Alaska pipeline, the Exxon Mobil oil spill disaster and the adventure of the first bush pilots. The museum on Hazelet, near the ferry port, has a scale model of what the old town of Valdez looked like before it was destroyed by an earthquake and tsunami in 1964.
