Webcams Around Ketchikan
Ketchikan has undergone some significant changes over the last 140 years. Learn the history as you compare live webcam images with photos of our past.
We've combined the efforts of Ketchikan Museums and Ketchikan Public Utilities to provide a historical comparison between past and present-day Ketchikan. KPU's webcams deliver live views of Ketchikan and her waterfront that show stark contrast to the historical photos pulled from KM's archives. Pairing the photos with the stories written by local historian and former mayor Dave Kiffer provides for a unique interactive journey through Ketchikan's history.
DOWNTOWN KETCHIKAN – KPU WEBCAM #3
Looks East Toward Downtown Ketchikan
Ketchikan Public Utilities
This is life in Ketchikan. Our local television crew captures life and events throughout the Ketchikan community. With everything from local art show and martial arts competition coverage, to the king salmon fishing derby and cooking show productions, KPU has done a wonderful job of depicting what life looks like around our island home.
Ketchikan webcams are installed and maintained by Ketchikan Public Utilities throughout the community. On their site you'll find details on the location of each, as well as images from each location taken during one of our less-than-common sunny days.
Ketchikan Museums
Ketchikan Museums: Preserving and interpreting the history and heritage of our region at two locations:
Tongass Historical Museum – 629 Dock Street in downtown Ketchikan.
The Museum’s permanent exhibition, "Ketchikan Is..." reflects our unique experience building a community in the remote Southeast Alaskan rainforest. Dive deeper with a visit to our temporary gallery that showcases rotating exhibits.
Totem Heritage Center – 601 Deermount Street near City Park
The Totem Heritage Center preserves and perpetuates the living artistic traditions of the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples that gave rise to the original totem poles on display and provides the opportunity to discover, learn and practice Native arts to inspire cultural understanding. Our knowledgeable staff and interpretive panels help visitors gain a historical context with which to approach contemporary totem poles and the cultural traditions present in our community.
