The Oscar Anderson House Museum is a historical museum located in downtown Anchorage in the U.S. state of Alaska. Currently located on M Street in Elderberry Park, the structure was built in 1915 by early Anchorage resident Oscar Anderson. Anderson claimed to be the 18th person to set foot on what is now Anchorage. The structure was the first wood-frame house in Anchorage. The Oscar Anderson House was completely restored to a 1915 appearance between 1978 and 1982 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.

I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
