Shopping
Gustavus boasts a handful of gift shops (our eclectic fuel station doubles as a gift shop), a grocery that sells far more than food, and a health food store. Many lodgings have gift shops in their lobbies.
For art visit the Fireweed Art Gallery at four corners, Kim Ney Pottery off Dock Road and Carole Baker Art Gallery. For all things growing, visit Gustavus Gardens, right by the Nagoonberry Loop Trailhead. A local farmers’ market takes place every Saturday at the Salmon River Park, where you may find some craft items as well as produce. The Community Chest, our local thrift store, is open several times a week and has an amazing array of items. Gustavus also is home to a fish packing and retail store, where you may sample the smoked halibut and salmon.
Connecting people to Alaska's parks, forests and refuges.
This non profit organization is your best source of books, maps and other materials about Glacier Bay National Park. Revenue from sales support educational and research programs in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. Located upstairs in the Glacier Bay Lodge in Bartlett Cove. Open mid-May through mid-September, noon to 9pm daily. |

Gustavus boasts an incredibly rich community of artists (Bruce Shingledecker, Loren Adkins, Carol Baker, Lou Cacioppo, Kate Boesser, John Shearns, Bill Locher), and the Fireweed Gallery's primary purpose is to represent those artists. From stained glass to watercolor, from stonework to woodblock prints, from high end masks and jewelry to the best coffee mug you'll ever find, our selection is extremely wide ranging.
While we feature our many local Gustavus artists, we also have a great variety of artists from across Alaska. The Fireweed Gallery has Gustavus' largest selection of Art Cards and proudly carries many local and Alaskan authors, as well as a selection of Alaskan Children's Books.
The Fireweed Gallery is also a Custom Frame Shop, and we are happy to frame anything you bring in!!
Please come by to say hello, have a cup of coffee, use the internet, or wander through an elegant display of Alaskan's artistic reflections on Alaska.
If you can't make it to Gustavus, please visit the Fireweed Gallery on Facebook! Much of the art in the Gallery is also online, and more is always being added!
