Transportation
Built in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois, the Harding Car carried passengers until 1945. Also known as the Denali Car, it was the train car that President Warren G. Harding rode in when he came to Alaska in 1923 to drive the Golden Spike for the Alaska Railroad, signifying the completion of the 500 mile long line. Harding was the first President to visit Alaska. It was donated to the City of Fairbanks in 1959 and moved to the park in 1965.
