Aleutian Islands WWII National Historic Area - Visitor Center

Before visiting this museum, we did not have much knowledge, of the role the Aleutians during WW2, however, due to this exhibit and information, we have a better understanding, of life and the invasion of the area.

If you can make it to Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, do it! The WWII museum is a gem. Perfectly captures the complex history of Dutch Harbor during WWII and perfectly conveys the nuance associated with the suffering of the service members lost on the island as well as an exhibit that discussed, in a non-sanctimonious way, the plight of the native Aleut people. Informative and tasteful!

I visited here in 2019. It was a great place to visit with lots of historical items to learn about. I enjoyed my time here abs the staff was very friendly.

Very nice museum. Lots of good information.

A great experience learned alot about the native people that suffered during World War II

Important place to visit! I had virtually no knowledge of the occurrences on these islands during WWII. The museum's exhibits read like a novel. They also have a film that brings the time period alive. Bring a Kleenex. It is our duty to be informed.

A fascinating side story about what happened to the indigenous people during WW2. Although it didn't end up being important militarily they were forced to move as a preventive measure. The real damage to their homes and ultimately their way of life was not from the Japanese. Which is recognized.

Walked by today (Wednesday 2/13) Was actually unaware of this museum. Posted hours said 1pm to 6pm Wed thru Sat I believe. I was there approx 3:30pm and it was dark and locked up.
