Venue Features
This museum is absolutely breathtaking!
The Alaska Native Heritage Center celebrates, perpetuates, and shares Alaska
Native cultures.
We've rented the entire facility!
The rental includes the outdoor deck, and we're free to explore the five traditional village sites that surround the two acre lake.

Directions
It's actually behind Bartlett. Take North Muldoon Road as if you're going to Bartlett. The old driveway off Muldoon Road that went into Bartlett is now Heritage Center Drive! The one mile road to the center winds around to the backside of Bartlett.

Special Notes
Casual elegance to semi-formal.
Significant others/guest welcomed, no children.
Programs will be at each place setting with an unique napkin design.
I've rented chair covers and bows which changes the entire venue from classy to elegant!
Centerpieces will be flowers: dark yellow roses and dark blue irises.
Other decorations include gold and navy balloon bunches.

Dawn's Comments
The perfect place! It mixes a great banquet facility with a "touch" of Alaskan culture. We'll have the whole place to ourselves, so feel free to explore the museum and outdoor villages.
