MANY MATANUSXA VALLEY ARTIFACTS
TO BE DISPUTED M FAIR’S MUSEUM
The Matanuska Valley Fair
museum will again be open for
this year’s fair. Last year thou
sands of visitors filed through
the door of the old log cabin to
view some of the Valley’s his
torical items. Thus year a regis
try will be kept, noting the visi
tor’s name and origin.
In 1955 the Fair board of di
rectors established the museum
and designated the “old settler’s
cabin” as it’s shelter. The old
log building is in itself a relic.
It was built by itinerant carpen
ters during early Colony Days
and is neither an old settler’s
cabin nor the type of cabin used
by any of the’ early settlers or
colonists. It was used as an office
building for a short time but was
never used as a home. It is a
maverick, especially unique be
cause of its wooden fireplace
built on one end and it’s log
chimney.
T. A. Moyer, fair association
president, is museum curator,
and has been instrumental in
gathering a number of interest
ing historical items for display.
A number of interesting items
will be on display at the Fair,
and others will be added from
time to time. An informative
sourvenir booklet is being pre
pared giving a brief Tristory of
some of the items. There is an
Arctic dog sled, built in 1930 and
used extensively in the Circle
area, north of Fairbanks. A long
heavy sled, used by the late John
Bugge, is on display. Mr. Bugge
landed at Old Knik in 1914 and
necked the sled loaded with pro
visions the length of the Valley
to Eureka, where a gold strike
had bCen reported. When the
bubble burst, he hauled the sled
back to the Valley. There were
no trails, just dense forest and
river bottoms. The bob-sleds
that Pioneer Bugge made in 1914
are also in the museum. It is
hoped that the association will
be able to add many items to the
Bugge collection in the near fu
ture.
The first electric light used in
the Valley was made by Joe
Cronnen. This interesting ex
hibit will be on display. Other
items of mutual interest are the
old cooler used by Dr. C. Earl
Albrecht at the temporary hos
pital in Tent City some 21 years
ago. Also the Matanuska Junc
tion Depot stove, an old saw
buck, the first potato planter
used in the Valley and the post
from Hicks Creek, used by Col
onel Hicks in 1889. Col. Hick’s
name and the date are cut into
the post.
Collections of Alaskan litera
ture, minerals, geological forma
tions, colony money, old pictures
and other Valley artifacts are
being assembled. Many items of
interest are being loaned to the
museum for the Fair display.
The Harry Duff family has loan
ed their old coffee grinder they
brought with them to the Valley
to grind chicken feed; clothing
Used by early expeditions, and
wild life trophies will be exhib
ited. Rusty Dow, \he Valley’s
“Shoepae Artist” will have some
of her famous paintings on dis
play.
New features to be housed
along with the museum displays
are Hobby Hall, the Photogra
phic Salon and the Philately De
partment. This year the stamp
exhibition will be acclaimed the
Alaska State Philately Exhibi
tion, and the first ASPEX will be
launched. A cachet will be ap
plied to all covers sent to the
Fair officials before the dead
line date of August 31.
