Lots of hammers!

This place is interesting! They have hammers from all over the world. They inform you of the hammer's title and what it was used for. Some have really funny sayings next to them. Family fun

Unique museum

Very unique and interesting. Every hammer you could ever want to know about. Get the admission for the 3 museums/attractions in Haines, it saves you some money. Walking distance from the cruise ship and there is also a free shuttle.

Rainy day activity

Small museums are perfect for a rainy day. This is easy to spot. Just look for the large hammer out front. Thousands are on display and thousands more in storage. This was really pretty neat and quite interesting. You can buy a ticket for 3...More

It's hammer time.

Um. It's a museum full of hammers. There's no movie theater in Haines, so... Oddly, the hammers are screwed (not nailed) to the walls.
