Fairbanks | Alaska | A Winter Adventure
8 days with a rental car exploring the Fairbanks area. Our trip was March 23rd-30th 2019. Some places visited: Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum, dog sledding with Black Spruce Dog Sledding, Running Reindeer Ranch, Aurora Ice Museum, Museum of the North, Pioneer Park, Tanana Valley Railroad Museum, Pioneer Air Museum, Denali National Park (we could only go the first 3 miles into the park, as the road is closed in the winter season, we did not see Mt Denali), Silver Gulch Brewery- the Northern most brewery in North America, Creamer's Field, Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor's Center, we rented snowshoes from Alaska Element, Santa Claus House in North Pole, the world's largest Santa statue, Fairbanks Community Museum, Chena Hot Springs (we opted to not get in as it was very crowded), Ice Alaska - world's ice carving championships at Tanana Valley State Fairgrounds- we arrived on the last day it was open so the ice statues were pretty melted, Alaska Pipeline Viewing Point, snowmobiling with Rod's Alaskan Guide Service. Only one night of our trip had a high rating for Aurora activity but it was very cloudy, so we could not see the Northern Lights :( :( It's ok, we got to see them in Iceland!

The 49th Star
In November of 1955, a dedicated group of Alaskans gathered in Fairbanks to shape the future. The 49th Star chronicles a great story of American democracy – an account of 55 people who assembled in sub-zero temperatures to write a state constitution widely considered one of the best ever written and a pivotal achievement as Alaska continued its journey to statehood. ©KUAC 2006

Ben Eielson search described by James T. Hutchison
Pioneer Alaskan aviation mechanic James T. Hutchison Sr. is interviewed during the late 1980s at his home in Fairbanks about his life, the people he knew, and his work throughout Alaska over the course of more than 50 years. In this segment, Hutchison describes his airplane crash between Kaltag and Unalaklet during the search mission for aviator Ben Eielson, playing basketball with Eielson, and Eielson's fatal crash in Siberia. In 1929, Eielson and mechanic Earl Borland died in an airplane crash while attempting to retrieve furs and evacuate crew from the cargo vessel “Nanuk,” which was trapped in ice off the north coast of Siberia. Hutchison also mentions the Lindberghs in Nome and pioneer Alaska aviators including Joe Crosson and Noel Wien.
Hutchison was a master craftsman and worked as an aircraft mechanic for several decades. He originally came to Alaska with the U.S. Army. In 1929, he began his aircraft maintenance and repair career by working for Carl Ben Eielson’s Alaska Airways, where he learned how to work on a variety of aircraft and earned a reputation for meticulous work. Hutchison was recognized in 1972 as the Federal Aviation Administration’s Mechanic of the Year. The Hutchison Institute of Technology, which opened in fall 2004 as a partnership between the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Community and Technical College, was named for him. (Color/Sound/VHS and 3/4 U-Matic videotape).
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-9488 from the James T. Hutchison Sr. film collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks. For more information please contact the Alaska Film Archives.

Frontiers 58: Food for Thought
From above the Arctic Circle to Bristol Bay, there’s a growing interest in raising food closer to home.
Some of it’s economic. In places like Anaktuvuk Pass, where produce must be flown in, a head of cabbage can cost you $12.
For many, it’s about improving the quality of food.
Others worry about Alaska’s food security — and say it’s risky for the state to be 95-percent dependent on outside sources of food.
This week, we take a look at the frontiers of indoor growing. Some of the highlights:
Experimentation at Chena Hot Springs near Fairbanks, where food is being grown year-round in greenhouses heated and powered by geothermal energy.
Efforts to extend the extremely short growing season in Anakatuvuk Pass, a small community above the Arctic Circle.
A Bristol Bay farmer’s ambitious plan to grow produce for Dillingham, using vertical harvest techniques in a container van.
Our guest this week is Jason Smith, owner of Alaska Natural Organics, who is raising crops of organic lettuce, basil and other salad fixings in part of the old Anchorage Matanuska Maid milk packaging plant on Northern Lights Boulevard. Smith supplies a number of local restaurants and talks about the challenges of making an operation like his pencil out.
In this week’s Frontiers, there is indeed a lot of food for thought, as we introduce you to entrepreneurs and community activists, who are experimenting with new ideas and new techniques. They ask that exciting question: why not?
The answer is varied and often surprising.

Laurel Bill on Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil, Knik withers
Author/speaker Laurel Downing Bill on Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil features how Knik, once the largest town in Cook Inlet region with 500 residents, withered away after the Alaska Railroad bypassed it to build the Alaska Railroad close to Wasilla in 1915-1917.
When the U.S. Post Office opened its branch in Knik on Oct. 27, 1904, it signaled that Knik was a bone fide community. But it only remained open for 13 years because of the Federal government’s decision to bypass it when it laid out its plans for a railroad to connect Seward to Fairbanks in 1915.
Thousands of gold seekers had streamed into Cook Inlet by the late 1800s. These people hacked out primitive trails connecting scattered camps and eventually unified the region between Cook Inlet on the south and the Talkeetna Mountains on the north, and the Matanuska River on the east and the Susitna River in the west.
Although few of the prospectors who entered Cook Inlet became rich, a small Dena’ina Athabascan settlement called Knik had enough commercial activity that the Alaska Commercial Co., which had taken over the assets of the Russian American Co., opened a trading post there in 1882. (Some say Knik means “fire,” and other sources say it means “among the islands.”)
Russian clergy journals noted that the Natives of Old Knik moved their village to New Knik (Eklutna) in 1897 – perhaps because so many gold miners were flooding into the area. They even took the St. Nicholas chapel with them. The Natives did help the miners, though, working as guides, chopping logs, packing freight and in many other ways.
Knik’s population grew to several hundred as hard rock followed placer mining. And the discovery of gold in the Interior in 1902-03 helped to keep their hopes afloat. That discovery, near what would become Fairbanks, led to more intense mining everywhere.
Discoveries of gold north of Knik in the Talkeetna Mountains, as well as placer gold northwest on the Iditarod River, made the community across the Turnagain Arm from modern-day Birchwood the major trading center for the gold and coal mines in the region. At its peak, Knik boasted a population close to 500 and was the largest town on Cook Inlet.
But after railroad engineers laid out a route for the tracks 13 miles north of Knik, and established a railroad camp at a place called Wasilla, many Knik businesses and residents moved to that new settlement. Knik eventually died. The old pool hall, now the Knik Museum, and a small empty cabin that sits nearby are the only original buildings left of this once-thriving community.
