Northernmost Auto Museum in America

Those who frequent auto museums will love the collection on display at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum in Fairbanks, Alaska. The museum pulls together auto history, vintage fashion, and the history of Alaska all in one spot. Included in the collection are more than 60 automobiles that are considered "historically significant." All of these were produced in America during the pre-World War II era. Surrounding the cars are walls filled with photographs featuring historical events and significant destination in Alaska. There are also vintage fashions on display, shown with the vehicle the given time period. Many people are surprised to learn that car makers in the United States were using internal combustion, electric, and gas powered motors during the late 1800's. That is right... the electric car was actually invented over 200 years ago! The museum is located at the Wedgewood Resort. Guests staying at a variety of the area hotels including Wedgewood, Sophie Station Suites, the Bridgewater Hotel, and the Bear Lodge all receive discounted admission. The museum is located near the Wedgewood Wildlife Sanctuary and nature trails, which makes a great after-auto museum outing for the entire family. The auto museum is available to be rented for special events and occasions, and offers 30,000-square feet of space for entertaining and gathering.
