We visited the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum in Fairbanks after spending the morning at the university botanical garden and the Large Animal Research Station aka LARS. This Model T with skis and tracks is easily my favorite vehicle on display.
There are a number of absolutely beautiful vehicles and, I believe, almost all of them are drivable. Clothes that match the period are also on display.
Afterwards, we went to Pioneer Park (aka Alaskaland). Lots of little shops and an aircraft museum that I hadn’t visited in a really long time.

Looks like y'all had a fun day. Dom's post really was much more extensive! I don't blame you at all for doing the "see here" approach. He does a great job with images. All of the Pioneer Park photos made me smile. I really like the shot of the three of you, too.
ReplyDeleteI wasn’t even going to post as I didn’t take many pictures...
DeleteWhat fun visiting sites you probably pass by on a regular basis! It takes visitors to do that, I know!
ReplyDeleteWe saw a similar snow vehicle from the Model T era with skis at the Barber Museum near Birmingham, Alabama. It seems much more at home in Alaska. 😀
It is great to have visitors. Especially to visit those familiar locations..
DeleteIsn’t it great to have out of town visitors so you have an excuse to explore your own home town ... I’m waiting for my Alaska guests to come visit some day😀
ReplyDeleteOne of these years.…
DeleteRichard, if Dom is still around, can you please let him know that it has become so difficult to prove to his blog that I am not a robot I can’t post any more comments. But I loved his photos of you and the gang.
ReplyDeleteHe is around. I mentioned it and he removed word verification.
