Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry
One of our favorite places to spend a few hours is the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry in Wasilla, Alaska. The museum houses an amazing collection of trains, trucks, tractors and equipment which were used to tame Alaska, gather its resources and make life easier for Alaskan miners and settlers.
The museum’s website tells the story of Alaska’s natural resources and how the equipment was brought in to extract and transport these resources. Once the resource was depleted, the equipment was left behind. The museum now serves as a home to some of this equipment and a place to share their history.
If you love history, planes, trains and automobiles, then this museum is for you!
Wouldn’t you love to hear the stories these vehicles could tell!
