The American Bald Eagle Foundation Museum was the vision of Haines residents Dave Olerud and Hans Fluehler, who created the organization in 1982 to protect local populations of bald eagles and preserve their natural habitats. In 1994, the museum was opened to the public as a natural history facility offering visitors an up-close look at Southeast Alaska’s wildlife. Dioramas and exhibits detail the lives and habitats of land, sea, and air animals throughout the region, and a raptor center allows visitors to interact with the museum’s 12 resident avian ambassadors. Natural history talks are offered at the museum on a regular basis, and special events are hosted periodically, including museum celebrations related to the annual Alaska Bald Eagle Festival in November.
