Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum
Did you know that the first automobile in Alaska was a 1898 Hay Motor Vehicle?
It’s a sight to behold, and it’s available for viewing at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum.
Housing one of the state’s largest collections of cars, the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum tells a story of transportation throughout time.
Its earliest vehicles are horse-drawn carriages, and it progresses from speedsters to midget racers to cycle cars as it eventually makes its way to more modern models.
It’s amazing to see the journey of cars from stuffy Victorian carriages to the bright and dazzling electric engines of recent years.
If you’re all interested in cars, you’ll want to make time for the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum.

Aurora Ice Museum
The Aurora Ice Museum is one of the coolest places to visit in Alaska, and we mean that literally.
Since it’s carved from snow and ice, it’s kept at a perpetual 25°F, and visitors are given parkas to stay warm.
If you don’t mind the chill, however, the museum is a dazzling place.
Not only is it a remarkable piece of architecture all by itself, but it’s also filled with things like elaborate ice sculptures and color-changing lights that are designed to mimic the aurora borealis.
There’s even an ice outhouse if you’re interested in truly one-of-a-kind sites!
The Aurora Ice Museum is part of the Chena Hot Springs Resort, but you don’t have to be a guest to take a tour.
It’s also open 365 days per year, so no matter when you’re visiting Alaska, you can experience its colorful creativity and whimsical wonder.
Address: 17600 Chena Hot Springs Rd, Fairbanks, AK 99712, United States

Mushroom Jun's America Travel
USA, Alaska
Wiseman village, here is the world's most northerly inhabited village for many years. I saw that Chinese has translated it into Zhisheng Village, and I like it very much.
It is said that there were 7 households with 7 households in the 2000 census. In the 2010 census, there were only 14 people. Because many rooms were rented to permanent residents, it is very difficult to book. .
People in the village are self-sufficient, and living in harmony with animals is the most important life skills of the local people. One night here, I think of Thoreaus words in Walden on time. I live alone in the forest because I thought about a prudent life, only facing the most basic elements of life, and seeing if I am I can learn from the life that I want to teach me. If you have plenty of time, stay here for a month, maybe it will be more rewarding.
The town is located 11.5 miles north of Coldfoot, first north along the Dalton Highway, then see Wiseman's street sign turn left into the slip road and bend along the slip road Going to the residence after going up for a while.

For many people, Alaska is a continent full of admiration for nature. It is also a land for dreams, a perfect place to pursue the aurora. The University of Alaska has built this Northern Polar Museum on the campus of Fairbanks, using a full collection to convey the events that took place on the continent, including the process of Alaska becoming the 49th state of the United States, running through the Alaska pipeline. The story, the Japanese photographer Hoshino Donovah's Alaska works.
The appearance of this museum is in the form of neat white lines and curved lines, giving a simple and clean beauty. It reminds people of the snow igloo at first glance, especially when the university appears on a sunny day after flying. Carefully understand its beauty. The
Museum of North is a museum at UAF University, the northernmost university in the United States, where the museum displays the history and geography of Alaska in great detail. Among them are specimens of animals such as polar bears, which are impressive.
If you want to recommend Alaska's museum, this Northern Polar Museum is probably the most popular. There are so many exhibits inside, it is worth a visit. If you come to Fairbanks in Aurora, remember to come here to see the most visible brown bear. The size is really a little scary.

Hotel in Arctic town, Alaska
The other day, I went to a city called Fairbanks in the US state of Alaska. It is located in the Arctic Circle and is in the Aurora Belt, an area where you can see the Northern Lights.
There are several hotels in the city, and I stayed at one of them, the Westmark Hotel.
It's an extremely cold area, so it was nice to have good heating facilities. The interior is old and has an American feel to it.

Although the Fountainhead Auto Museum is not directly related to Alaska's outdoor adventure temperament, this classic car museum is definitely an unexpected surprise on Alaska's itinerary. Different from other auto shows, each car is equipped with a corresponding retro clothing display, or simple or gorgeous, just like telling you the owner of the car, it seems to be interpreting the character of this car. . The owner of the museum in Figure 5 told me that nearly 100 classic cars will be opened every year. . . Well, these are his.
