MUSEUMS
You'll want to take a trip back in time at the
Alaska State Museum, 395 Whitter St-J96, 907-465-2901. Here
you'll find the state's most complete series of exhibits on the
Tlingit, Athabascan, Aleut, and Intuit Native American tribes
of this area, historical arts including the First White Man totem
pole, the influence of Russia trading post, and natural history.
A trip to the Juneau-Douglas
City Museum, 155 S. Seward St, 907-586-3572, will give you
a chance to view videos about Juneau's history and gold mining
heritage. Another fun stop on your historical museum tour is
the
Last Chance Mining Museum & Historical Park, 100 Basin
Rd, 907-586-5338. A visit here will give you a chance to tour
the only historic building in use during the Juneau gold rush.
Inside you will find exhibits of both hard rock and industrial
mining tools, one of the world's largest Ingerrsoll-Rand air
compressors, and some of the locomotives and rail cars that hauled
men to the mine and ore to the mill to be processed.
