This museum is surprisingly good and encompasses the entire history of the area: geology, Native Americans, the fur industry, timber industry, and gold mining.

This small museum is an easy 20-minute walk from the ferry dock & has lots of really well-done displays. Don't miss the huge map of the Stickeen River, built into the floor. More
