Fodor's Review:

Wrangell's museum moved into a building that acts as a centerpiece for cultural life in Wrangell. Exhibits provide a window on the region's rich history. Featured pieces include decorative posts from Chief Shakes's clan house, petroglyphs, century-old spruce-root and cedar-bark baskets, masks, gold-rush memorabilia, and a fascinating photo collection. If you're spending any time in town, don't pass this up. Also in the building are the town's Civic Center (907/874-2829 or 800/367-9745. www.wrangell.com), a 200-seat movie theater/performance space/convention center, and the Wrangell Visitor Center. The latter is staffed when the museum is open and has details on local adventure options.

  • Cost: $5
  • Open: May-Sept., Tues.-Sat. 10-5 and when ferry or cruise ships are in port; Oct.-Apr., Tues.-Sat. 1-5
