Abandoned 1920s schoolhouse that was run by teacher Anne Hobbs Purdy, author of Tisha: The Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaska Wilderness (1976) and Dark Boundary (1954). Tours 9AM and 2PM daily (summer only) from Goldpanner to the town and schoolhouse.
This gold dredge operated on Chicken Creek from 1959 until 1967, and was used on Pedro Creek outside of Fairbanks. The Pedro Dredge is a National Historic Site and is open to daily tours. It is one of the most complete Alaska gold dredges, an example of the type of equipment used to mine the area's gold deposits.
It would be a huge missed opportunity if the town named Chicken doesn't have a statue of... a chicken! Just refrain from trying to eat it.
