Soldotna’s Homestead Museum has artifacts of life in Soldotna around the 1950’s, which is just before Alaska applied for statehood in 1958. The land around here was homesteaded just after WWII with preference for veterans. The docent accompanied Terry and me as we viewed the cabins, cache, schoolhouse and boats of the era. The guide said that one pioneer lived in his cabin for years when he decided to get a wife. The bride lived in the cabin for two weeks before the couple took off for Arizona.
The Community building held a very nice display with a painted background of the mountains and oceanfront with taxidermies of birds in the foreground. It was difficult to take good pictures because of the glass front. On the opposite wall were bears and other animals. Yes, Terry the bears are much bigger than you.
