Steese Highway: Central

Central, so named for its location within the Circle Mining District, is an unincorporated community on the Steese Highway.

There’s not much in the way of sightseeing here, but the Circle District Historical Society Museum was open ... displays covering the history of the area; fossilized remains found in and around creeks where miners worked their gold claims; mining equipment and household items; and other bits and pieces.

Before leaving Central, we went inside Central Corner — through the door with the sign saying “Entrance ... to Everything.” Yup ... bar, food, lodging, gas, propane, gift shop, groceries. We topped off at the single pump and treated ourselves to a couple of ice cream sandwiches before continuing on to Circle.Meer informatie
