CORRINGTON MUSEUM OF ALASKAN HISTORY

Ab USD 600,00 $
  • Produkt-Code: MUSEUM

Add a guided visit to the famous Corrington Museum of Alaskan Historyfeaturing the history of Alaska on masterfully scrimshawed walrus tusks.  Your guide's father, Dennis Corrington, created the Smithsonian-worthy exhibit so she knows much about the amazing stories captured in scrimshaw.   Starting with the prehistory of Alaska the museum will guide you through exhibits featuring Native peoples, the Civil War, Gold Rush, Reindeer Herding, Sinking of the Princess Sofia, Aviation, World War 2, and The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and more. 
See the dogsled used by Dennis in the 1976 Iditarod as well as the coveted Red Lantern Award for last place.  The museum also features the world's largest baleen basket as well as a massive mastodon tusk and trade bead display. 

The museum is free to the public and obviously you may visit on your own time after the tour without a guide to ask questions, but it might be fun to have a personalized tour of this amazing exhibit.  We can include a photo shoot in front of the giant mural on the side of the building featuring YOUR guide painted by her talented brother Bret.  Your guide is the only guide in Skagway with their very own
mural.  Cool. A visit to the Corrington Museum of Alaskan History can be incorporated into any of our hourly tour options at no additional charge. 


Group rate of $150 per hour for up to 6 people.  4 hour minimum.
(*Warning: we might run into Dennis Corrington who is full of so many stories youeither might not want to leave or you might not be able to get away.  We can come up with a code word in case it's just too much.  How about
"toothpaste" or "bubbles"?)
