Review:
The Sheldon Jackson Museum is the brainchild of Reverend Doctor Sheldon Jackson, who established hundreds of missions and churches across the United States in the late 1800s. His extensive travels allowed him to collect artifacts from all over, many of which are presently on display at the museum. The museum is the oldest in Alaska and the building the museum is housed in is the first concrete building in the state. Some of the artifacts and exhibits you’ll come across include jewelry, traditional toys, clothing, and several totem poles. One of the collection’s highlights is the Baidarka, which is a traditional skin-covered watercraft that was used by the Alutiiq and Aleut people.
