You should try and get to the Inupiat Heritage Center assuming it is open. You can walk around town (or hire a taxi) to see the whale bone arch, maybe have a taxi driver take you around town.
Thanks. The purpose to go there in Nov is because there is the time I can get tickets using Delta Skymiles (the purpose is to burn my sky pesos in a worthwhile fashion.) My original plan is to walk around in town with all the winter gear. I am happy with doing nothing as I have zero expectation except 25000 skymiles poorer. Thanks again for your response.

I had booked a ticket in earlier April, but I had to cancel because of unexpected work came up. I will lose my delta platinum at the end of Feb, and with all my MRs, it is hard to find a weekend to go to Barrows (subject to my weekend without MR, and AS award space, and delta award rule -- 3 segments each way.)
