Outside the Museum is the Harrington Cabin, telling many stories about the hard-working pioneers and homesteaders in the Kachemak Bay area. From hand tools and daily diaries to crochet work and kitchen supplies, the history of a self-reliant era encircles you with the clarity of a fossilized shell. Guided tours are available in the summer, and an oral history recording is available when a cabin interpreter is not present. Just outside, a small heirloom garden shows local varieties of produce that sustained these pioneers.
