Delta Junction, Alaska: Sullivan Roadhouse

he Sullivan Roadhouse, a historical museum that was built in 1905 and was an important stop on the trail between Valdez and Fairbanks, now exists because it wound up on Fort Greely, near Delta. The soldiers took care of the building by adding a metal roof. (Water entering a roof is responsible for collapsing most of Alaska's historic log buildings.) The Sullivan Roadhouse was renovated and moved by the Delta Chamber of Commerce next to the visitor center. It has some of the best easy-to-understand descriptions of pioneer life anywhere.
