Dalton City

Fodor's Review:

An 1890s gold-rush town was re-created for the movie White Fang and moved to the Southeast Alaska State Fairgrounds (907/766-2476), less than a mile from downtown. The movie-set buildings now house local businesses, including the Haines Brewing Company. The four-day-long Southeast Alaska State Fair, held the last week of July, is one of several official regional blowouts, and thanks to its homespun feel, it's a must for state fair fans. In addition to the usual collection of barnyard animals, the fair has live music, rides on a vintage 1920 Herschal-Spillman carousel, local culinary arts, native dances, totemic crafts, art, and photography.
