Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge
Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge, Protected wildlife refuge and historic farm in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The 2,200-acre refuge contains forests, wetlands, and fields that serve as habitats for over 60 species of migratory birds throughout the year.
The site began as a dairy farm during the gold rush when Belle and Charles Hinckley transported three cows from Nome to Fairbanks in the early 1900s.
Local residents organized a campaign in 1966 to preserve the fields as a wildlife sanctuary when the dairy operation closed its doors.
The Farmhouse Visitor Center operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturdays from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, offering trail guides and wildlife information.
The property contains the only remaining pioneer dairy buildings in Interior Alaska, which gained National Register of Historic Places status in 1977.
