Talkeetna Historic District
Talkeetna Historic District
The Talkeetna Historic District covers about 6.4 acres in Talkeetna, Alaska. It includes parts of Main Street from roughly C Street to D Street and nearby blocks on C and D Streets between Front and East First Streets.
The village began in 1916 as a regional construction base for the Alaska Railroad and later became home to miners after the railroad was completed. The district includes three buildings from that era and ten built before 1940. Most buildings are one or two stories tall and are made of wood frames or logs.
Notable buildings in the district include the Fairview Inn, the town’s first schoolhouse (now the Talkeetna Museum), and the Talkeetna Roadhouse, which started as a log house in 1917 and was expanded in the 1940s to serve travelers.
The Talkeetna Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 26, 1993.
