Jean P. Haydon Museum, History museum in Fagatogo, American Samoa.
The Jean P. Haydon Museum houses over 650 objects, artifacts, and art pieces representing the traditions of American Samoa in a former naval building.
The structure, built in 1919 as Navy Building 43, served as a commissary store before becoming a post office and later transforming into a museum in 1971.
The museum collection includes ancient woven fine mats dating back 450 years, traditional kava bowls, and coconut-shell combs from early Samoan civilization.
Located across from the US Post Office in Fagatogo, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
The museum exhibits lunar rocks and an American Samoa flag that traveled to the moon during the Apollo 11 mission, gifted by President Richard Nixon.
