Housed in the city’s oldest wooden-framed home, this little museum overlooks the delightful Elderberry Park. Anderson was the 18th American settler to set foot in Anchorage, and he built his house in 1915. Today it’s the only home museum in Anchorage, and despite past budget problems, it’s open as a reminder that until fairly recently there wasn't a single building in this city that was a century old.
