Prince William Sound Museum
Heading back toward the waterfront along Eastern Ave, you'll come to the rather extravagantly named Prince William Sound Museum, which occupies an ill-lit room beside the Anchor Inn Grocery Store. The space has lots of displays about Whittier's military history, but the most fascinating exhibit is about the man who engineered the town's tunnel, Anton Anderson. A Swedish-Australian immigrant, Anderson discovered he had a knack for carving holes through mountains, and then found he had a knack for politics, eventually becoming the mayor of Anchorage.
