I make it a point to take all my visiting friends and family here. I live in Soldotna and every time we visit Homer we stop in. I don't know that a whole lot changes but I always see or read something I missed last time. The staff is always so friendly. I love this place.
This place is a noce little museam that represent Homer well. A lot of local artist here which Homer is teeming with. There is maybe the best exhibit on the Exxon Vladez any where here two which is a huge event in the history of coastal Alaska.
