A few miles north of town is the area’s best attraction. The 10-acre historical park on the Tanana River preserves Rika’s Roadhouse and Landing , an important crossroads for travelers, miners and soldiers on the Fairbanks–Valdez Trail from 1909 to 1947. You can easily spend a couple of hours here wandering the pretty grounds and exploring buildings stocked with displays of turn-of-the-century farming and roadhouse life.
