Nenana Alaska
Toghotthele Hill is a very visible landmark, and why Nenana, long ago, became a traditional gathering place for hunting, fishing, trade, meetings and celebrations by different groups of Athabascan Indian. The sternwheeler, later the barges, the highway, the train all converged here changing Nenana and making it a melting pot of diverse cultures. If you visit Nenana you can see miners,
trappers, homesteaders, Alaskan Natives, shopkeepers, boat crews and others together in this little river town we call Nenana. These people are not actors in costumes putting on a show for tourists; this is the reality of how we live. This is one thing that makes Nenana unique, being an authentic year round village on the Parks Highway. We are also a full service community offering an RV park, airstrip, and places to eat, stay, a museum, many diverse business ventures. Nenana has gone from boomtown to small town several times in its history. The population now is about 460, with additional 600 or so residents in the surrounding area.

This page was the original creation of Gayle Stevens- an established Nenana resident who saw the need of a place for all Nenana business people to gather on the Internet in about 98. Miles Martin- a local artist joined in the work in 2000. Miles supplied ideas- pictues words- did the artsy stuff- while Gayle cleaned it up- did most of the technical things. In Jan. 03 The Nenana Chamber of Commerce purchased the site . Nenana no longer has a functional Chamber of Commerce so Miles is back maintaining the page with help of various members of the communmity.
