Solomon
Solomon, an
unincorporated community in Alaska's Nome Census Area,
whispers tales of the gold rush era. The
Solomon State Field Airport provides air access to this
remote location.
Step back in time at the Solomon
Roadhouse, a historic landmark built in 1906. This former roadhouse now
functions as a museum, showcasing fascinating exhibits that illuminate the
bygone era of gold prospectors and the iconic Iditarod
Trail. A short distance away
lies another relic of the past, "The Last Train to Nowhere,"
an abandoned train standing sentinel along the defunct Council
City and Solomon River Railroad.
While nightlife options in Solomon
are scarce, visitors can find lodging at the Solomon
Bed and Breakfast. This charming historic schoolhouse offers a
tranquil escape, perfect for nature enthusiasts and history buffs. While shopping options are limited within Solomon
itself, a trip to nearby Nome unveils
a treasure trove of local finds.
