Tales of a Crooked Road: The Building of the Alaska Highway

Saturday, October 10, 2026 4:00 pm Eastern

With Eric Knapp

The Alaska Highway has been called “The Trail of 42,” “the longest main street,” and “the crooked road.” The highway, a World War II project, didn’t spring from nowhere.

Join us as we take a topical look at the idea of a highway, the promotion of the idea, the wartime building of the highway, and the postwar conversion from military road to civilian highway.

ATA's First Vice-President, Eric Knapp, is a resident of Alaska and has done exhibits on several topics related to Alaska.
