The Talkeetna Historical Society was founded in 1972 by residents concerned with protecting Talkeetna's historical sites. We are a non-profit organization who safeguards the uniqueness of our rural Alaskan community, Talkeetna, in the preservation of our historical past in its Museum, and its many other historical buildings and trails.

Volunteers
This year we have created a volunteer incentive program to thank those that give their time helping to make sure that the MDF is a success. We will be holding a BBQ the weekend after the MDF for all of the volunteers and will hold a drawing for lots prizes. For each three hours of volunteer time a person gives they will receive a prize ticket. The more tickets you have the better chance you will have to win a prize. We are also giving each volunteer that puts in 6 hours, or more, a special MDF Jacket. So if you’re ready to help, contact us now.
