Fodor's Expert Review Eagle Historical Society

The town's historical society has a two-hour walking tour that takes in historic buildings and includes tales of the famous people—among them Arctic explorer Roald Amundsen and aviation pioneer Billy Mitchell—who have passed through this historic Yukon River border town. The society also maintains an extensive archive, photo collection, and museum store stocked with regional history books and locally made items. Eagle is a sleepy town, so call ahead to schedule an appointment. If you can't reach the society, the Interagency Visitor Center can help coordinate a tour.
