Great museum. Three floors to visit. We were there a good 3 hours and could have stayed longer. The Alaskan history is really unique including actual diaries from pioneers. We love museums and this was a pleasant surprise. Well worth the visit! More

I mistakenly thought the Pratt Museum would be like any other collection of artifacts in a small town. I was sooooo wrong! Plan to stay a few hours at this little gem. It is great for kids and adults. You won't get a better feel for Alaska in general and Homer specifically than visiting the Pratt Museum. It is AWESOME. More

This museum is literally crammed with information.  Historical items, multi-media displays, and very helpful staff make this place a must-see for those interested in learning about the Homer area.  Out front there's a small natural garden identifying plants/flowers of the region.  Inside there's plenty to learn about the area's wildlife (land/sea).  I also appreciated learning about the people of the...
