What it is like
The Museum of Alaska Transportation & Industry is an outdoor yard near Wasilla, with trains, planes and rusting machinery spread across it. It is a gearhead's outdoor treasure hunt, and most of the collection sits outside, so plan for the weather. It is open May to September.
Wasilla is about 4.5 miles from the museum. Homestead RV Park is a year-round, reservable park on the Glenn Highway, open when the snow flies and with 60 sites. Palmer Hay Flats Overlook, 2.5 miles away, looks over a wetland refuge with waterfowl, moose and Pioneer Peak on the skyline.
