Jesse Lee Children's Home
..
The Jesse Lee Children's Home was established in Unalaska, Alaska (by the Methodist Church)
 for Aleut orphans in 1890. The orphanage was mostly self sufficient with the children
maintaining the school and growing most of their food. The orphanage continued in Unalaska
until 1925, when it was moved to Seward, Alaska.  The orphanage was again moved (1964), after the
Alaska earthquake severely damaged the school. In 1970, the Jesse Lee Children's Home merged with the Lutheran
Youth Center and the Anchorage Childrens Christian Home to become ANCHORAGE CHILDRENS SERVICES INC.

Several Alaska notables had their starts in the Jesse Lee Children's Home:
Benny Benson, who designed our Alaska State Flag
Peter Gordon Gould, the founder of Alaska Methodist University (now called APU)
Simeon Oliver, pianist, national radio personality and author
