KETCHIKAN (derived from the Tlingit "Kitcxan"), Alaska is home to some of the most beautiful and distinct native culture to be found in the world; no wonder it is known in legend as "Where the Eagles' Wings Are". Nestled between Ketchikan Creek and the TONGASS NARROWS, Ketchikan boasts some of Alaska's best fishing. Experience craft and dance exhibitions steeped in tradition. Visit nearby Prince of Wales Island, the Metlakatla Indian Community, and British Columbia. Take in the awe-inspiring sights of the Misty Fjords National Monument. Find the perfect gift or momento in Ketchikan's broad selection of shops and galleries, located on historic Creek Street. For centruries, people have traveled the Inside Passage and shared in the heritage of the Native people here; the skill and artistry of the ancient Tlingit, Tsimshian and Haida craftsmen.

The theatrical recreation of timeless legend is very memorable, as are the handwoven Chilkat quilts. The pride and culture of old live on in Ketchikan's modern day residents. Ketchikan, Alaska is a town that has always grown and changed with the times. Front Street was paved in 1923, the first paved road in Alaska. The brothels were shut down (to the dismay of a certain few) in 1953. In the following years, Ketchikan, Alaska integrated itself with the Natives, and the town took on a pride of its own. Ketchikan, Alaska is a place that has always greeted the adventurous and brave with open arms, and looks forward to the future.
