It's difficult to make museums interesting and engaging but the people of Wrangell have managed to achieve just that with the layout of their display areas and the way the displays flow through the ages of the town's history. REALLY good selection of Alaskan literature in the book section of their museum shop.
Displays and movie. All was interesting, and informative. Staff was very helpful. Liked the garnet display and the petroglyphs.
The quality and range of exhibits was fantastic. Great history lesson in the area. Organized very well.
I never expected Wrangell to have such an extensive history. The museum curators have done an awesome job preserving the rich history and culture of Wrangell. The displays are well laid out so as not to overwhelm you but I always learn something new every time I visit the museum.
We enjoyed our visit to this museum. It is very well done and is an excellent museum for this size of community. Only five dollars per person and well worth your time.
Lots of artifacts and history about Tlingit, Russian, British and American governments. Very knowledgable and friendly staff.
We ducked in on a rainy afternoon, but his is a good little museum for any kind of weather. Good local information and history. Interactive displays. Many artifacts. Clean building and bathrooms. Nice gift shop. For such a tiny community, this is a great museum.
I enjoyed going deeper into how and why Wrangell exists -- this museum gives you a look at native, gold rush, military, and resources history. There was also a beautiful art and photography exhibit down the hall in a gallery room. Well worth the $5 fee!
This museum is a stand out in a town with few tourist activities. There's a lot to see and the exhibits are well presented.
This museum is a real highlight in Wrangell. It has some great artifacts and excellent local guides. If you are just visiting, you really should find 45 min to an hour for this place.
