Nenana Historic Alaskan Community

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. To find out more and get directed to the 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 and now it is more of a community effort.
