Tongass Historical Museum

The Tongass Historical Museum, located in downtown Ketchikan, hosts between three and four rotating exhibits in its gallery hall. The exhibits typically highlight local or Native Alaskan history and detail Ketchikan's history. Furthermore, a permanent exhibit, titled The First People, displays artifacts from  Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian tribes along with modern Native Alaskan art.
