Awarded by a grant from The Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area, the Moose Pass Sportsmen’s Club expanded this community project into a school history assignment where students of Moose Pass Elementary School researched the founders of their hometown.

The project had citizens of Moose Pass rummaging through drawers and attics for historic photos. One story led to another and before long, people were reconnecting with family members, old timers, and historians to learn more. Two years later, residents celebrated the origin of this small town of 217 people with the dedication of the history project at the newly-constructed library.

Resulting in the professional production of five interpretive panels, development of a DVD slide presentation that includes hundreds of digitized photos, the enlargement and framing of several historic photos for display at the library, and the printing of historic photos for use as postcards.
