On two separate days, Judy, David and I went to two cities with very informative museums and preserved cabins showing life during the gold rush days. This is the kind of stuff we love to see. Here are a few pictures.
Soldatna, AK
This is a city museum maintained by loving volunteers.
Hope, AK population 151
The museum exhibits here are also maintained by the residents. In fact the whole town is mostly restored homes and buildings from the early 1900's that the residents live and work in.

Two fun days. And of course we also drove along some of the most scenic roads in the world to get to them.
