The Iditarod Trail Headquarters honor the famed dog sled race of the same name, which has been run every year in March since 1973 and takes elite teams on a 1,100-mile route from Anchorage to Nome. The museum boasts a variety of exhibits related to the race’s history, including the taxidermy of famed sled dog Togo, whose 1925 journey across Norton Sound to deliver diphtheria serum inspired the race’s route. A statue of famed raced Joe Redington, Sr. and his dog Feets stands outside the museum, and a video room allows visitors to analyze historic race footage. Dog-led cart rides are offered for visitors during the summer months for an additional fee.
