Shopping
The best kept secret of Haines is the fact that it is home to more than 50 local artists. This creates unique shopping opportunities with a variety of galleries and numerous gift shops that can be found in Fort Seward and downtown Haines. Paintings, jewelry, pottery, wood-turned bowls, hand-made dolls, ivory sculptures, soapstone carvings, and hand-woven baskets are just some of the many treasures you will want to take home.
See Tlingit culture still thriving in Haines with skills displayed by jewelry designers and totem pole carvers at the Alaska Indian Arts building in Fort Seward. Unlike other Alaska communities, Haines is untouched by the traditional chain stores you'll see in other ports. You’ll find much more than the average souvenir in Haines to remember your Alaska adventure.
