Fairbanks:
Golden Heart of the Interior
In 1901, when prospector E.T. Barnette accidentally
ended up here, he could hardly have envisioned today's
Fairbanks: His gold strike drew frantic diggers who
helped grow the town into Alaska's second-largest city.
Today, you can step back in time
to tour gold mines and check out the
world of tomorrow at the city's cutting-edge
university. Then soak up the unique
flora and fauna, flight-hop up to the
Arctic Circle, or just wander downtown
Fairbanks and experience this proudly
quirky town that still holds onto its
fiercely independent roots.
