Alaskan History Museum

The George I. Ashby Memorial Museum is housed in two rustic log cabins next to the historic Copper Center Lodge.

In the First cabin the visitor can view many historic photos, documents, items from the Kennicott Copper Mine, treasures from 'Old Alaska', and some items reflective of the area's Native cultural history.

The second cabin is dedicated to the 1898 Gold Rush and is filled with photos and artifacts of that time period.

Within the museum are hand-made local items available for purchase as well as books pertinent to the area's history.

The museum runs strictly on donations. While admission is free, your donation is welcome, appreciated and needed. The museum is operated by the Copper Valley Historical Society, a non-profit group of volunteers, who opened the museum in 1984.

Museum Hours:

June 1 through September 15
Open 7 days a week - 11 AM to 5 PM
