Description

The museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry is a non-profit organization and its mission is the collection, conservation, preservation, display and interpretation of artifacts related to Alaska's transportation and industrial history. Its aviation exhibits include aircraft from ultralights to a C-123. Several early aircraft engines are displayed, as are photographs and artifacts associated with Alaska's early flyers. Non-aviation exhibits include tractors, fire trucks, and other vehicles from the 1920s to 1960s; five diesel locomotives and 20 pieces of railroad rolling stock; mining equipment; antique steam and gas engines; and boats. MATI has recently completed a 5-year project of developing and moving to a new 10 acre site.

Directions

MATI is located in Wasilla, Alaska (50 miles north of Anchorage). From Wasilla, travel about one mile north on the Parks Highway and turn left just after crossing the Alaska Railroad overpass. The museum is about 3/4 mile off of the highway and the route is well marked. It is next to the Wasilla Airport (no scheduled air service) and about 1/4 mile from the aircraft parking area.
