Museum
Alaska’s abundance of fish spurred the building of the first two canneries in Alaska by the late 1870’s. At the turn of the century, canneries peppered Alaskan coastlines including Kodiak Island. Shelikof Packing Company began its salmon cannery operation where Zachar Bay Lodge is currently located in 1929. In 1939, Chatham Straits Fish Company bought the Zachar Bay cannery from Shelikof Packing Company and turned it into a herring reduction plant. By 1974 the bonanza was over. The herring disappeared and Washington Fish and Oyster Company who now operated the cannery was forced to close its operations in Zachar Bay. In 1989 the Eaton family bought the site and transformed it into a lodge for guests to enjoy. Learn about the local fishing history both through the walk around tour given by the Eatons as well as visiting the mini-museum.
