William Jack Hernandez Sport Fish Hatchery
The fish hatchery produces millions of fish each year to support sport fishing in South Central Alaska. It is open to the public during normal business days between 8am-4pm. Or you can book a guided tour.
The Ulu Factory
What is ulu?
Of all the innovative tools that came from the Indigenous People of Alaska, one is foremost: the Alaska ulu knife. The ulu knife was their main cutting tool. It was originally made from flat, thin, rocks, slate, or even jade. Handles were fashioned out of wood, ivory, or bone and often decorated with distinctive markings of the craftsman.
Go take a look at how the blades are made and assembled and tour the factory. Maybe even buy yourself a ulu souvenir.
Alaska Native Heritage Center
The Alaska Native Heritage Center is an educational and cultural institution for all Alaskans. The center opened in 1999. The center shares the heritage of Alaska's 11 major cultural groups.
Plan a visit to explore and learn about the many different Alaskan cultures. They provide shuttle services during the summer months.
