Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry
This museum has three parts – a large building with restored vehicles, planes, historic equipment and collections; a train with several cars that are opened to walk through and featuring good photographs of gold rush days and early trains; and a large outside area with hundreds of pieces of equipment.
The building is all accessible. The train has a good ramp to the exhibits inside but several of the ramps between the cars are very steep and the doorways into the last couple of cars are too narrow for wheelchairs to fit through. The outside area has a graveled walk along the perimeter which isn’t too bad for pushing along but getting close enough to see many of the other pieces requires pushing through thick grass over lumpy ground. Most wheelchair users will need some help.
The parking lot isn’t very big but large RVs can be parked along the road leading in. Museum
