Tour Overview
The central downtown area of Ketchikan was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. This walking tour takes visitors through the historical core of the city’s business district and adjacent residential blocks still rich with vestiges of the pioneering city.

Most of the tour terrain is relatively flat and easy-going, keeping to sidewalks, roads, and a path along City Park. The last part of the tour (Stops 29-34) involves a hill and stairs.
