Fort Abercrombie State Historic Site, Military fortification and state park in Kodiak, Alaska.

Fort Abercrombie State Historic Site covers 182 acres at the end of Miller Point on the eastern shore of Kodiak Island, northeast of the city of Kodiak. The park holds World War II gun emplacements, underground magazines and foundation remnants among spruce forest, ocean bluffs and meadows. The Kodiak Military History Museum occupies the restored Ready Ammunition bunker on Miller Point.

Fort Abercrombie's fortifications were built in 1941, with gun emplacements, underground magazines and building foundations, and were abandoned after the war without seeing action. The site honors Lt. Col. William R. Abercrombie, an early Alaska explorer and U.S. Army officer. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and included in the 1985 National Historic Landmark designation of the Kodiak Naval Operating Base and Forts Greely and Abercrombie.

The site is named for Lt. Col. William R. Abercrombie, an early Alaska explorer and U.S. Army officer. Inside the park, the Kodiak Military History Museum occupies the restored Ready Ammunition bunker on Miller Point, displaying military artifacts from the island's wartime role.

The site provides tent and RV camping with basic facilities and accessible restrooms for visitors with mobility needs. Summer and early autumn offer the best conditions for exploring the trails and structures when weather is most stable.
