Carrie McLain Museum

Once effectively an attic of Nome 'stuff,' the Carrie McLain Museum has evolved over the years into a professionally presented museum that profiles the history of Nome and Western Alaska. Many of the institution's more than 15,000 artifacts relate to gold-rush days, including racks of mining equipment, historical documents and photo albums.
