Clausen Memorial Museum

Fodor's Review:

The museum's exhibits explore the commercial fishing and the cannery industry, the era of fish traps, the social life of Petersburg, and Tlingit culture. Don't miss the museum shop; the 126½-pound king salmon—the largest ever caught commercially—as well as the Tlingit dugout canoe; the Cape Decision lighthouse station lens; and Earth, Sea and Sky, a 3-D wall mural outside.

  • Cost: $3
  • Open: May-early Sept., Mon.-Sat. 10-5; mid-Sept.-Apr. by appointment
