Looking back at early times in the Matanuska Valley, these photos provide a glimpse into everyday ordinary life of residents of the Matanuska and Susitna valleys. From dusty roads to classes held in train cars before permanent locations were available, residents made due and succeeded with what was available.

The following set of photos were provided by the Palmer Museum and Visitor Center.
