    Day 39 Ends with Antique Autos

    Today — our last day in Fairbanks — we went to see the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. Having seen other museums of a similar nature, we almost did not go. But I had a 2-for-1 coupon in my Alaska TourSaver app, reducing the price to $15 for the two of us, so we figured we would check it out.

    The museum is on the grounds of the Wedgewood Resort. The cars on display are considered historically significant ... all produced in the US prior to WWII. One of the featured cars is the first one in Alaska ... from when it was still a territory. The vehicles represent developmental achievements in the auto industry ... from steam to electric. All but three of the cars are in full operational condition and go out for drive every so often.

    In addition to the autos, there are historic photos of vehicles in Alaska decorating the walls. And an interesting addition is a collection of vintage clothes on display ... matching the model year of the cars.    Read more
