History, scenery and the pursuit of plain old fun inspire a wide range<br />
of attractions in the <strong>Ketchikan</strong> area. Museums, historic sites and<br />
interactive tours highlight attributes of our town.<br />
• Creek Street<br />
borders <strong>Ketchikan</strong><br />
Creek, where<br />
salmon runs<br />
attracted Native<br />
Alaskans for<br />
centuries, and<br />
where residents<br />
and visitors still<br />
take fish. From<br />
1903 to 1953,<br />
bordellos lined<br />
the creek. Shops,<br />
restaurants, museums<br />
and galleries<br />
welcome<br />
visitors to Creek Street these days.<br />
• The salmon hatchery on <strong>Ketchikan</strong><br />
Creek welcomes visitors to see aquaculture<br />
and a birds of prey exhibit.<br />
Eagles and other raptors are up-close at Deer Mountain<br />
Hatchery and Eagle Center. Charming Creek Street rests<br />
on pilings; shops are open where bordellos operated just<br />
half a century ago. Athletes with suspenders and chain<br />
saws perform at the lumberjack arena.<br />
