Our first full day in Fairbanks we went to check out an ice sculpture museum and ended up talking to a local for a while, skipping the museum. We looked around a local co op where handcrafted items amongst other things were being sold. We questioned one of the shop employees about things to do, she suggested to check out Pioneer Park.

We obliged, Pioneer Park had peculiar cabins. These cabin’s had been relocated from downtown, which reminded me of kitchen kettle from Lancaster, Pa. The cabins were filled with all sorts of shops like museums, food, and adventure. We peeked around the Pioneer museum and really enjoyed the diaramas. We left Pioneer Park for some lunch. 

After a nice lunch and cozy nap we took advice from another local and went to the Fountainhead Automotive museum which housed unique vehicles I’ve never laid my eyes on. Near some of the vehicles were manicans on display with time period specific clothing making it a bit easier to put yourself in their shoes. Some being the last claimed in models left. The model T snowmobile was especially memorable as it was adapted for the Alaskan winters with ski's instead of tires!

No northern lights so far, but the weather should be clearing up.
