DONORS
The Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center in Fairbanks, Alaska would not exist nor be an ongoing success without our donors.
Because of donor generosity we are able to be the hub for locals and visitors to access to information about exploring Alaska’s public lands, discovering the variety of activities available here in the Interior, and provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of the area’s Indigenous cultures, their significance and their influences on our ways of life. Thanks to ongoing donor support we will continue to do this for future generations.

Young Native Fiddlers – With Gratitude to Bill Stevens
“Living here most of my life, I am well-versed in the lifestyles of Alaska and living in the bush. The work put in to portraying the life here in the dioramas is outstanding. I miss Big. He would love it here. Thank you for bringing him home.”
“This is certainly the most beautiful visitor center we’ve ever been to!!”
“I’ve lived here 13 years and this is exactly what I needed to learn about Alaska.”
I really enjoyed the potlatch display. It is really authentic, down to the type of modern blanket that is now used and the kerchiefs, and the various modern life displays on rural Alaska. They felt just like home to me. Like MY entry way and freezer, and the stuff we take out in OUR canoe. It shows real respect for both the past and, more importantly, the Alaskan present.
“It took my breath away and reminded me so much of when I was a little girl in the cold and dark of the Brooks Range.”
“There is no place like this place.”
“Great place to start a Fairbanks tour.”
“This is a credit to your town. Thank you for great services!”
“I’ve lived here 13 years and this is exactly what I needed to learn about Alaska.”
“I absolutely love everything about this display. It reminds me of who I am and why I love Alaska and never want to leave.”
“I always swell with pride looking at and learning about our native culture, especially when it’s presented so beautifully.”
“Maasi’choo for a beautiful place!”
