The Juneau Douglas City Museum is a historical treasure that was the site of the state s ceremonial July 4, 1959, where the 49-star flag was first raised in Alaska and is still flown today. The city museum has been a gallery of local history since 1976, and the museum's current location in the Veterans Memorial Building - which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2006 - is an important stop for understanding Juneau's cultural heritage and community history.
