Nolan Center 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 the oldest known Tlingit house posts dating from the late 18th century, 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.

Civic Center. Also in the building are the town's Civic Center, 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. 293 Campbell Dr., 99929. 907/874-2829 or 800/367-9745. . www.wrangellalaska.org.
