This summer will be another busy one in the Kennecott National Historic Landmark. Some of the projects planned for this year include stabilization work on the general store, post office, concentration mill, and power plant. Lead paint abatement is planned in the west bunkhouse kitchen and basement. The recreation hall will also be receiving a new furnace.

A variety of visitor programs will be offered this summer. Look for daily ranger-lead events including nature and history walks, slide shows, and films. Check in at the Kennecott visitor center, located in the historic train depot, for an updated schedule.
Additionally, park staff will be continuing to work with Friends of Kennicott, Wrangell Mountains Center, McCarthy Area Council, McCarthy Museum and other interested citizens on a variety of projects and issues. Some of these include the McCarthy Road Environmental Impact Statement, a National Park Service campground on the east side of the river and an administrative site on the west side. We look forward to building partnership relationships with our neighbors as these projects develop.
