"Wish we had allowed more time. This is a real treat."
Joan Daugherty, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Location

Centrally located downtown, on the original Haines Mission grounds, the Sheldon Museum & Cultural Center has a picture-perfect setting overlooking Lynn Canal, a magnificent fjord. Our staff and volunteers, many long-time residents, warmly greet and guide all visitors. They can share stories about life in the Chilkat Valley.
