The Haines Sheldon Museum, an educational institution of the Haines Borough, is named for Steve and Elisabeth Sheldon, collectors who settled in Haines (Steve arrived in 1911) and later donated their collection. It holds over 4,000 artifacts, from Chilkat blankets to the Eldred Rock lighthouse lens, and about 12,000 catalogued photographs and slides, covering the Dalton Trail, Fort Seward and the Presbyterian mission that founded Haines.
