About Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry

The museum collects and preserves Alaska's transportation, industrial, and cultural heritage. Its transportation collection includes Alaska Railroad locomotives, vintage fire trucks, homesteader wagons, snow machines, vintage aircraft, and models. A separate industrial heritage collection traces the Klondike gold rush and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley homesteaders. A 42-foot fin whale skeleton is being prepared as an exhibit, using a whale that washed ashore near Anchorage. The museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in the Mat-Su Valley and is open to families, students, and history fans.
