In some cases the belongings of the builders were still present inside the cabin providing a unique window into the lives of these individuals and the time period. Under the terms of the Agreement, archaeologists will record every known cabin and ruin and then document the history. They will compile old photographs and documents, as well as personal interviews, to tell the story of the Euro-American settlement of the Kenai Peninsula and the opening of Alaska. This project is unique. Nowhere else have we restored useable cabins and then gone the extra step of recording all of our ruins in a comprehensive program to understand and appreciate all of the historic resources on one refuge.
