Town Welcoming Center. The statues are of the three men credited with discovering gold in the Nome area. The Hanson Trading Company is a fascinating general store, with not much selection but a little of everything- groceries, clothes, electronics, you name it.

St. Joseph's Church. No longer used as a church, it was moved to the center of town and renovated into a sort of town meeting hall. It's also the reference landmark in town used in giving directions.

Velvet, a pet reindeer. She had climbed in for her ride home and didn't take kindly to me holding things up.  This was taken behind my house where the owner of both my house and Velvet  has a shop.
