This listing of museums in Fairbanks, Alaska includes historical buildings and other items. The 2000 Fairbanks International Museum Day this year is May 27 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with tours and a trivia scavenger hunt. Refreshments will be provided at several locations.
Brochures are available at each of the museums - each location offers the answer to one question.
Those who answer all questions correctly will be in a drawing for modest prices such as Alaskaland train passes, T-shirts, books, magnets and cookbooks. The tour is part of International Museum Day, celebrated on May 18 since 1947. Because local museums do not open until the Memorial Day weekend, we celebrate later here.
