Step into the Sullivan Roadhouse Historical Museum in the heart of
Delta Junction and go back to the time of sourdoughs, gold fever and
frontier hardships. Built in 1905, the Sullivan Roadhouse is the oldest
roadhouse in Interior Alaska. It was built on the Donnelly-Washburn
winter cut-off, a part of the Valdez-Fairbanks Trail. John and Florence
Sullivan operated the log inn from 1905-1922. Through the early years of
gold rush Alaska, they welcomed the weary winter traveler into their
spacious and well-appointed roadhouse.
