Fairbanks Community Museum, Fairbanks

Awesome free museum that tells you all about the rich history of dog sledding, they have silent auctions where we’re I was able to win a Victorian photo album. The staff is super nice and helpful and truly care able the history they are keeping alive, I definitely recommend this stop if you’re in Fairbanks, can’t beat free, but leave a tip for these beautiful people if you can.

Although the museum’s setting is nothing fancy, I was impressed by the content. I liked the display about Togo the dog, the exhibit about the 1967 Fairbanks flood, the story of Irene, the “queen of Fairbanks,” and more—including the original newspaper cuttings of coverage on the 1964 Great Earthquake and the 1989 Valdez oil spill.
