Our First port of call was Ketchikan. Our first excursion was later in the day so we  got to walked around the town to take in the beauty.  Ketchikan is the best places in Alaska to see and get authentic totem poles. Totem poles tell the history of the native clan or village.

Dolly’s House

I did not take a photo of the building and I wish I could add more than one photos per section Going on this tour was like going back in time. I do not recomend for young children but so worth going for adults.                   *Admission $5.   http://tourketchikan.com/listing/dollys-house/ "Found along the famous Creek Street Boardwalk, Dolly’s House is filled with antiques, old photographs, secret caches, and a video history of Creek Street’s most famous madam, Dolly Arthur. Come relive that exciting era of the 1900s to the 1950s."

Did You Know:   The name "Ketchikan" is believed to come from the Tlinit word  "Kitschk-Hin" meaning" thundering wing of an eagle"

Did You Know: Dont feel bad if someone tells you you're the " low man on the totem pole". Often, the most important figure can be found at the base, not on top, as many believe. 

We had amazing time and their was other places in Ketchikan we wanted to see but will have to wait for next time....
