Oscar Anderson House Museum — Attraction in Alaska

This place is a hidden gem of Anchorage & great place to visit. There are lots of antiques & heirlooms from the Anderson family that are all out in the open to view as opposed to most museums that have a wall plexiglass as a barrier. I highly recommend the guided tour with Amy who is so nice about answering questions, but also very knowledgeable about everything in the house. The guided tour can be booked on line via email. As a side note, the house is located in Elderberry Park that is by the coastal trail. So we had a lovely afternoon as we did the the Anderson house, rented bikes & had some tacos at food cart...

Visited the park after hours to take a look at the house.

Really enjoyed the plaques outside that had some of the history and also stories behind some of the naming in the region.

Found the story about the crazy pilots who tried to explore the interior of Alaska very enlightening.

Also, crazy to imagine Anderson having to work so hard to get to Anchorage back in the day - makes me feel the drive wasn't so...

Built in the 1950s this quaint little house was probably pretty large for the day. I encourage you to make an appointment to visit this home and let the tour guide give you all the details. It brings back a lot of memories for some people who say this is just like my grandparents house. So take a trip down memory lane and stop by for a visit next time...
