Iditarod Cabin

The cabin is similar to the cabin at Rohn, the eighth checkpoint on the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, located along the north side of the Alaska Range at the confluence of the Tatina and the South Fork of the Kuskokwim Rivers. The original Rohn cabin was built in 1910 as a roadhouse serving the interior gold mining communities of Iditarod, Flat, Ophir, and others. Earthquakes and fires destroyed the original cabin, and the present cabin was built in 1929. The cabin and nearby airstrip have been maintained and used as an emergency shelter and landing strip, as well as serving as a checkpoint during the Iditarod Race.
