Valdez-Fairbanks Trail Roadhouses, Delta Junction, Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, AK

Significance: The Valdez-Fairbanks Trail was cleared during 1902-1903 as a winter route from the Pacific port of Valdez to the interior goldfields of the Tanana River Valley. The trail was improved after 1906 by the Alaska Road Commission into an all year wagon road. John E. Sullivan constructed a roadhouse in 1906 at the crossing at Delta Creek. Used until the 1920's, the building is one of the few remaining log roadhouses which once stood every twenty miles along the 371 mile trail.
