Have you ever wondered how in the world small towns in Alaska like Wasilla and Palmer developed? Did you know that the town of Knik, south of Wasilla, used to be a thriving town? Would you like to know why it disappeared? In today's episode, I interview John Trampush with the Knik Wasilla Historical Society and the Musher Hall of Fame Museum. He shares insights into how the area developed that you'll be hard-pressed to find in a history book and does so in a fun, conversational way.
