In 1978, an Arts and Museum Advisory Board was formed to take on the task. In 1980, the city purchased the J.L. Dalton home, itself rich in local history and architecture, to house the museum.

Step inside two weathered structures that anchor Cooper Landing's past on the Kenai River's south bank. Jack Lean's Cabin, pieced together from the late 1920s, shares the grounds with the former Post Office building, which once served as the community's mail hub for nearly four decades.

Winter visitors find the site takes on a particularly quiet, contemplative quality as snow settles across the historic rooflines. The Community Club oversees the grounds while dedicated locals volunteer their time to keep things running.
