2019 Temporary Exhibit
Take a sleigh ride back in time! Haines winter memories include record snow falls, creative methods of getting around, and the sheer fun of bundling up and being outside. Watch Felix “Whitey” Hakkinen’s 1935 snow machine in motion! Marvel at soldiers shoveling through 10 feet of snow at Fort Seward!
This exhibit highlighted historic photos, movies, and documents from Haines Sheldon Museum’s archival collection. Recently digitized movies brought life to the still images. In the days before Facebook and Snapchat, soldiers, teachers and Haines House staff captured their unique Haines experiences in photograph albums, providing us many images for the exhibit.
