Lonely Planet review for Baranov Museum

Housed in the oldest Russian structure in Alaska is Baranov Museum, across the street from the visitors center. The museum fills the Erskine House, which the Russians built in 1808 as a storehouse for precious sea-otter pelts. Today it holds many items from the Russian period of Kodiak's history along with fine examples of Alutiig basketry and carvings. The gift shop is particularly interesting, offering a wide selection of matreshkas (nesting dolls), brass samovars and other Russian crafts.
