Chena Pump House, Historic mining pump station in Fairbanks, Alaska
The Chena Pump House stands along the banks of the Chena River, featuring a dual-level structure with industrial machinery displays and dining areas.
The Fairbanks Exploration Company established this water pumping station in 1933 to supply water for gold mining operations at Cripple Creek until 1958.
The restaurant within the pump house presents Alaska's mining heritage through preserved industrial equipment while serving regional seafood and game dishes.
Visitors can access the Pump House Restaurant at 796 Chena Pump Road throughout the year, with advance reservations recommended due to high demand.
The building combines original industrial pumping mechanisms from the 1930s gold mining era with modern dining facilities overlooking the Chena River.
