Petersburg, Alaska, Cruise Into The Heart Of The Alaskan Wilderness With Alaskan Sea Adventures
Presented By USA Travel Magazine
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.
