Gakona Historic District

The Gakona Historic District encompasses the historic settlement of Gakona, Alaska, which was established as a stagecoach stop on what is now the Glenn Highway in eastern Alaska.  The district includes the original Gakona Roadhouse, dating to 1904, and a cluster of buildings around the 1926-28 Gakona Lodge just to its south: two cabins, a horse barn, carriage house, bar, and house.  All but two of these are of log construction, and most were built either c. 1904 or 1926-28, when the highway was rebuilt to a higher standard.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
