This is the route of the sled-dog relay that carried diphtheria antitoxin to Nome in 1925. During the program, Ryder will share stories and images and display much of his gear, as well as discuss his preparation for the adventure, including dog training. This program is appropriate for all ages. Admission is free; parking is $5 per vehicle. In case of severe weather, the program will be cancelled.
