Beautifully curated, the Ketchikan Story Project is a perfect travel companion.
If you’re planning a trip to Alaska’s Inside Passage, this app includes an interactive town map that will guide you to public art installations and other local attractions. If you are an armchair traveler with a special interest in remote locales with rich cultural/ industrial history, you will find a treasure trove of historical information about the people and the passions that developed the area.
Ketchikan is a quintessential Alaska town, home to a centuries-old Native culture, a passionate (and wildly successful) commercial fishing community, and a thriving world- class art scene. The Ketchikan Story Project introduces you to Alaska’s First City via short films and interviews with many of the town’s artists, fishermen, Native elders, and other local luminaries, whose insights and experiences bring the town and its history to life.

Features:
• Interactive town map
• Short films about the area’s history told by local Native elders, artists, and historians
• Curated slideshows feature Native Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian arts of cedar bark weaving and carving; local artists and public art installations, and a complete tutorial on the area’s renowned wild salmon and halibut fisheries.
• Interactive features that tell the stories of two of Ketchikans most famous landmarks: The Rock and Chief Johnson’s Totem Pole.
• Perfect for cruise passengers, sport fishers, history buffs, and adventure vacationers alike!
