The Best Sight in Juneau, the Inside Passage, and Southeast Alaska, Alaska

Completed in 1931, this unassuming building houses the governor's office and hosts state legislature meetings in winter, placing it at the epicenter of Alaska's animated political discourse. Historical photos line the upstairs walls. You can pick up a self-guided tour brochure as you enter, or take part in a free, one-hour tour offered by the Juneau–Douglas City Museum (weekdays only, June through September).
