Gold Town Theater, in collaboration with the City Museum, will present a 30-minute film compiled of historic clips of Juneau as part of their Not-So-Silent Film series. The film will be accompanied by live music composed and performed by Bob Banghart and David Hunsaker.

In 2023, the City Museum received a donation of thirty-six 8mm home movies from Rebecca Pickett, granddaughter of Harry and Lucille Stonehouse. The Stonehouse family lived in Juneau from the 1920s–1950s and their collection of home movies reveals visits to the Mendenhall Glacier, fishing, wildlife viewing, downhill skiing, and prominent events like the 4 of July as well as other scenes from the past. The City Museum worked with Summit Media to digitize the 8mm reels and then created a movie from the best clips from all thirty-six movies.
