A new experience for me to visit one of these. The history was evident and plentiful. Upon entry one is given a history lesson and then one is on one's own to explore and learn.
Dolly was an infamous Ketchikan madam in the Creek Street Red Light District who provided the working men with "entertainment" after a hard day's work. This brotel is filled with rich and interesting pictures, stories, books and old artifacts from the days of old. It...More

Dolly's House is worth seeing if you like history. Dolly lived and worked in this house for many years, entertaining gentlemen who lived and worked in the area. She was a colorful character and her house is full of interesting memorabilia reflecting her life. Be...More
There are wonderful stories to learn about Dolly. I learned about her life. She was a strong woman in a difficult time. The museum ladies also gave some history of the street, the facts of Dolly's two homes and why there was a second home....More
