Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center was opened in 2009 and was the result of a decade of planning by the Fairbanks Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Alaska Public Lands Information Center, and the Tanana Chiefs Conference.

The center, which honors civic leader Morris Thompson, serves as a visitor center for the interior Alaska region and showcases a variety of interactive exhibits and cultural programming related to the region’s social history, with a particular focus on its indigenous communities.

Regular cultural programming presented at the center includes daily documentary showings and performances and demonstrations by local Athabascan artists. The center also serves as the headquarters for a number of regional organizations, including the Denakkanaaga Alaska Native Elders’ Organization, the Alaska Geographic Store, and the Tanana Chiefs Cultural Program.
