>From captivating wild and sea life to Alaska's world famous King
salmon fishing; Alaska offers travelers endless adventures and
scenic sites to explore. Petersburg, known as Little Norway,
history dates back to over 100 years ago when it was founded by
Norwegian anglers. Norwegian immigrant, Peter Buschmann, for
whom the town is named, claimed this piece of paradise when he
arrived on the north end of the island in late 1890s.
Between 1890 and 1900 Peter constructed a dock, sawmill, and a
cannery, which still exist in operation today. Each May
Petersburg celebrates Norway's Constitution Day with the "Little
Norway Festival." This celebration of Petersburg's Norwegian
heritage is a huge festive event where visitors participate in
traditional activities and dances or take photos with Vikings
and Valkyries. Concerts, arts and crafts displays, smorgasbord
meals, and leisurely boat tour are also highlights of the
festival.

natural history, geology, Native culture, and flora and fauna.
