DeVore's Homestead Tour and Talkeetna Historic Tour

DEVORE HISTORIC HOMESTEAD TOUR
This Alaska Wilderness Tour offers a narrated tour of Historic Talkeetna and a rare opportunity to visit an original and remote Alaskan Homestead, 5 miles north of Talkeetna.

In 1959 the DeVore family traded the comforts of their Michigan home for the harsh conditions of Alaskan homesteading. Dennis DeVore takes you back to yesterday on this fascinating and very unique tour of the "Old Family Homestead", accessible only by trail.

During this "Talkeetna Alaskan Adventure", guests will enjoy a scenic ride in a modern style ATV drawn covered wagon. You will view the original cabin and various implements and tools used, to learn how early day pioneers survived living in the wilderness of Alaska.

After lunch you may choose to goldpan on Wiggle Creek, relax with a game of horseshoes, croquette, or berry picking (depending on the season). The fresh air, the silent serenity of the forest, and the murmur of Wiggle Creek takes you a million miles away. Weather permitting, you will have an excellent opportunity to capture photos of Mt. McKinley and wildlife.

"DeVore's Historic Homestead Tour" takes 3-5 hours and includes lunch.
Cost: $135 per person
