Rainy Day Museum #1

When you’re in a rainforest, you expect that your days might be soggy. Valdez is set amongst a rainforest. Hence we had another rainy day ... perfect for museum visits.

Our first stop was at the Maxine & Jesse Whitney Museum, which is associated with the Prince William Community College. Admission is free ... donations welcome.

The website describes it as follows ... “See the wonders of Alaska through the eyes of a unique collector in Valdez, Alaska.” That’s exactly what we did. We enjoyed exhibits that included animal mounts, beautiful walrus tusk carvings and other indigenous art, and many other artifacts from around the state.

This is a beautifully done museum and we’re glad we had a chance to visit it today.Read more
