Things to do near Nome, Alaska

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Nome, along with a brief description:

♦ Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum

If you’re looking for the best way to take in a little bit of local history and culture, then look no further than the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum. The most interesting aspect of this museum is its permanent gallery on cultures and communities across the Bering Strait. You will be able to check out a large collection of interviews, stories, and photographs that bring local history and culture to life. Some of the topics revolve around environmental issues, mining, transportation, the landscape, and more. Many of the exhibits are hands-on and interactive, providing you with a unique immersive experience!

♦ Old St. Joe’s Hall

Another interesting historical site worth checking out in Nome is Old St. Joe’s Hall. This Gothic-style church is one of the only gold rush-era buildings that survived destruction and is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Having originally served as church, it was then converted into a warehouse after the gold rush era before being saved by residents of Nome, who recognized the building’s historical significance. Today, St. Joe’s serves as an event hall and is filled with historic photographs that document its past. Many visit to admire the building’s striking Gothic architecture. If you want to see the interior, you will need to plan a visit during an event, as the church does not have regular operating hours.

♦ Anvil Rock

Nome is a fabulous place to spend some time outdoors. The city’s breathtaking landscape and native wildlife await! There are some amazing hiking trails in Nome, including Anvil Rock. Named for a piece of bedrock shaped like an anvil, this rock formation served as a landmark for miners. Today, a hike to Anvil Rock will reward you with breathtaking views of Nome, the Kigluaik Mountains, and the Bering Sea. Along the way, you have a great chance of seeing wildlife, such as oxen, reindeer, foxes, and native birds. As a bonus for history buffs, there are also some remains from a Cold War communications site nearby. The hike takes about an hour, which leaves you with plenty of time to take in the scenic views, breathe in the fresh Alaskan air, and explore the city even more!
