Alaska Motoring History

As one of the premier vintage car museums in the world, the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum tells the story of our automotive evolution from the late 1800s through to Pre-World War II. We also bring Alaska's rich and colorful auto and transportation history to life in vivid detail. Over 100 historic motoring photographs decorate the auto museum's walls illustrating the North's unique transportation challenges, including the navigation of glacial streams, avalanche chutes and extremely deep snow.
