Saxman Totem Park

Saxman Totem Park is a public park in the city of Saxman, Alaska, just south of Ketchikan in southeastern Alaska.

The park is home to a collection of totem poles, some of which are old poles relocated to this place from unoccupied Tlingit villages in the region, or were reconstructed by skilled Tlingit carvers under the auspices of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

One of the carved items recovered from unoccupied villages is a marble statue of a grizzly bear.

[2] The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
