Take a step back in Alaskan time to the early 1900s when you tour the first wood frame home built in Anchorage and occupied by Oscar Anderson, the man said to be the 18th person to walk the land now called Anchorage. The preservation and restoration authentically shows how Anderson and his family lived their Swedish heritage as immigrants to Alaska.
Don’t miss the lush gardens and an antique player piano on the property relocated to Elderberry Park from its original site. The museum is open with guided tours Memorial Day through Labor Day Monday-Friday noon-5 pm and in December for Swedish Christmas tours. Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for children. It is closed in the winter.
