- History
Thus far, most of our stories have centered on historic places in Talkeetna. Today, we head across the river, past Trapper Creek, and toward the Petersville mining district, where we find the Forks Roadhouse miles away from any paved roads. Built in the early 1930s, the roadhouse has been a vital place to find shelter and supplies for those who mine and trap in the area. It has been home to pies made from bear fat, famous holiday gatherings, and has literally risen from the ashes in recent years. Most of our stories today will come from two siblings, Eric Poole and Ginger Jones. The Forks Roadhouse has played a major role in both of their lives since their childhood. Join us as we visit the Forks Roadhouse.
