Artifacts from the Native Alaskans and boats they used for catching fish for their families to eat can be seen. There are many photos and historical pieces from the homesteading years they used in their everyday lives at home and at work.

See the historical Iditarod Trail and walk upon it and learn all about how the Alaskan Railroad came to be at KMTA National Heritage.
