Fodor's Review:

This small island sits in the center of Wrangell's protected harbor, and is accessible by a footbridge from the bottom of Front Street. Seven totem poles surround a traditional-style tribal house, built in the 1930s as a replica of one that was home to many of the various Shakes and their peoples.

Cost: $3.50
Open: Daily when cruise ships are in port (ask at Wrangell Visitor Center) or by appointment
