Petersburg,
Alaska, Cruise Into The Heart
Of The Alaskan Wilderness With
Alaskan Sea Adventures
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.
