Take a fanciful journey back to the time
of Alaska's earliest pioneers amidst many artifacts, pictures
and stories depicting the rugged life of local gold miners,
fur trappers, homesteaders and other adventurers. The museum
is housed in a log cabin built by the Donaldson family, members
of the Michigan 59'ers; a group of latter-day pioneers. It
is now owned and occupied by Trapper Creek resident Kenneth
L. Marsh, who serves on the board of directors of the Trapper
Creek and Talkeetna Historical societies. Kenneth Marsh is
also the author of A
River Between Us: the Upper Susitna River Valley, and
Lavish
Silence: A Pictorial Chronicle of Vanished Curry, Alaska.
You can find out more about the books A
River Between Us and Lavish
Silence, both of which contain historical stories about
Alaska's earliest settlers and pioneers, the Alaska Railroad,
and more, simply by clicking on the Read
