The Delta Junction Farm Bureau, which is running the Delta Visitor Center, will be opening its doors for the summer season on May 24th. 

At 11 am, they'll dedicate Delta Junction's new "End of the Alaska Highway" sign, in front of the building. Volunteers remade the sign last summer – and it still looks exactly the same, but far sturdier! The sign had begun to crumble over the years. 

Delta Junction is proud of its ties to the Alaska Highway, which dead-ends into the Richardson at this point in the road. The Alaska Highway is officially 1,387 miles long, and is a decades-long symbol of the ties between Alaska and Canada.

The Farm Bureau successfully took over the operations of the visitor center after the long-standing Delta Chamber of Commerce disbanded several years ago.
