Fairbanks Gold Dredge 8
Your two-hour tour will take you into the heart of the gold fields of the Tanana Valley where you will feel the history come alive.
Train rides, entertaining tales, and hands-on gold planning make this tour perfect for would-be miners of all ages. Before you board the train, get a close up view of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and information displays about the pipeline. Then hop on the train for a ride on a replica of the Tanana Valley Railroad and hear the conductor and local miners provide commentary about the history of mining in Alaska. The short train ride takes you to Gold Dredge #8 where you will see first-hand how the dredge worked the gold fields and then receive a brief but informative course on gold panning. Once the train arrives at the camp you will receive a poke sack filled with pay dirt and get a chance to pan for gold. You will find gold, it’s guaranteed! After you pan for gold, explore the dredge and feel the history come alive.
A 1% Rezgo Fee will be added to the tour total.
