Anchorage is I think my least favorite town in Alaska. But it is also the Biggest. I guess I really have enjoyed the smaller towns & Burrows
Below is the Visitor center located in down town & you have to feed a meter to park. I did have to take a pix of the door going out of a store across from the Visitor center. I doubt there are many of these “F.W.Woolworth” door handles left. I remember shopping with my mom @ these stores. Now this wasn’t a drug store & there wasn’t a lunch counter but such great memories that door handle brings.
The small Air Museum www.alaskaairmuseum.org was interesting. Steve always enjoys an air museum. Being in Alaska this museum had a lot if Bush pilot artifacts.
The shell of a PBY they hope to some day have $ & manpower to restore. This hot air basket was used in a flight in Alaska.
Alaska Native Heritage Center. www.alaskanative.net This is not just a Museum It’s an Educational facility for the general public & Native Youth. Alaska’s Native people are divided into 11 distinct cultures, speaking twenty-one different languages. In order to tell the stories of this diverse population, the Alaska Native Heritage Center is organized based on 5 cultural groups, which draw upon cultural similarities or geographic proximity. The roots for this center incorporated in 1989 & opened the center in May 1, 1999
We enjoyed the center & spent a good half a day here. Below are some of the pix we took.
These were about all we took time to see in Anchorage. There is also a Zoo & another Museum but we didn’t get to them. Have to save some things for another trip to Alaska.
