Fairbanks was first known as “Barnette’s

Fairbanks in 1902 when the town was
founded by E.T. Barnette to honor
Charles Warren Fairbanks, a U.S.
Senator from Indiana. He later became
Vice-President under Theodore
Roosevelt. Senator Fairbanks’ name
was suggested to Barnette by Judge
James Wickersham, a political patron
of the Senator.
Hop aboard the Riverboat Discovery boat
tour. A three-hour cruise will take you
into the heart of Alaska and introduce
you to a family who has made the rivers of
Alaska a way of life for five generations.
