State Facts & Pictures

Q. Where can I see a picture of your state bird, flower, flag and your capitol building? -Rudy

A. Our state flower is the Forget-Me-Not; state bird is the Willow Ptarmigan; the flag, which is a blue background with the Dipper and North State on it was adopted for use in 1959.

Alaska is one of the most beautiful of states, I think, but I will admit we probably have the ugliest capitol building of any state. Ours is a very utilitarian looking ‘box’. You can see it by going to a website called www.cupola.com and then clicking on the square that says something about Cupolas of Capitalism. Then click on Alaska. See what I mean? A box!!

I’ve found a good site for the other things you’d like to know is one called www.enchantedlearning.com Scroll down and click on US States Info & Printouts. Then find Alaska in the list and click on that. I think you’ll find what you need by doing these things. Write me again sometime. -Bonnie J.
