Potlatch Totem Park and Museum — Attraction in Revillagigedo Island

I was going to Totem Bight State Park near Ketchikan Alaska and turned into the wrong parking lot. There was a large gift store and museum next to the parking lot which we checked out. The staff was friendly and helpful and suggested we tour the Potlatch Totem Park which is a part of the grounds where the store is. What great advice. There were several well carved Totems and outbuilding with displays, and a Totem carving area. The owner has done a great job and I really appreciate all of the work that when into this project. Much to my surprise there was a wonderful collection of antique cars in pristine shape. The museum inside the store is well worth visiting. There was no admission charge. If you are visiting Totem Bight State Park be sure and visit here. You will not be disappointed. There was a large pot of coffee...

Stop to see a REAL Stanley Steamer car exposed with the boiler and drive train intact. Look at the "Modified" 29 Ford now set up with an ELECTRIC power plant. Tesla look out! Beautiful gift shop with free coffee. This private owner museum needs our support to keep building and showing the heritage of the...

Also a nice variety of merchandise. Because of the reasonable prices, lines at the register were very long when the cruise ship...
