Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park

Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park on Kodiak Island preserves a World War II military site within a striking coastal landscape of bluffs, spruce forest, and meadows. Built in 1941 as part of the defenses around Kodiak, its fortifications never saw combat and were abandoned after the war. The surviving gun emplacements, underground magazines, and building foundations still reflect the site’s wartime role. Named for Lt. Col. William R. Abercrombie, an early Alaska explorer and U.S. Army officer, the park was established in 1969 and later recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and within a National Historic Landmark designation.
