Fairview Inn, Historic hotel on Main Street, Talkeetna, United States.
The Fairview Inn is a two-story wooden building with a hip roof located in the heart of Talkeetna. It serves today as a combination bar and hotel, maintaining its original function as a gathering place in town.
Built between 1920 and 1923 by German immigrant Bruno Nauman, the building opened during Prohibition without a bar. Its establishment coincided with the arrival of the Alaska Railroad in the region.
The walls display collections of antlers, local animals, regional memorabilia, and a dedicated corner to President Warren G Harding's visit.
The building welcomes visitors during its operating hours, with street parking available nearby. Plan your visit around seasonal hours to find quieter times when you can explore the interior more comfortably.
President Warren G. Harding visited the inn shortly before his death in San Francisco, a visit still recalled in local stories today. This notable guest gave the establishment a distinct place in the region's history.
