Pratt Museum

The museum's mission is to preserve "the stories of the Kachemak Bay region", through "collections, exhibits, and programs in culture, science, and art".

[1] Indoor exhibits include early homesteading, Native Alaskan traditions, local contemporary art, and an exploration of the marine and terrestrial life around Kachemak Bay.

Hazel Heath, the treasurer of the society from 1968 to 1983 and mayor of Homer from 1968 to 1976, has been credited with founding the museum,[4] which was established in 1968.

One major attraction for visitors is a live-feed wildlife camera set up to view seabirds such as puffins, cormorants, and murres on Gull Island in Kachemak Bay.

[10] As of 2021, the Pratt Museum has expanded and restored the Botanical Garden, featuring over 150 plants that are native to the region.
