Welcome to Alpine Historical Park
The Alpine Historical Park is an open-air historical park, playground and museum located at mile 61.6 of the Glenn Highway in the small community of Sutton, AK. The park is open to those who simply want to enjoy quiet moments or walks through meandering paths surrounded by lush lawns, flourishing beds of flowers and berries, within the community gardens, all tucked between majestic mountain ranges.
Learn Local History
The Ahtna-Dene (Athabascan) culture, coal mining, and construction of the Glenn Highway.
Through self-guided tours community members and visitors can look back in time to understand the heritage and cultures of the early settlers of the Sutton and Chickaloon area. This includes the Ahtna-Dene (Athabascan) culture, coal mining, and construction of the Glenn Highway.
The emphasis of the property is not only to maintain the current structures, exhibits, and grounds but to continue to develop an educational and historical setting for the Sutton and Chickaloon communities. The park is a venue for community events.
