About the Alaskan Wall
Located about one hour’s scenic drive from Anchorage, The Alaskan Wall was founded in November of 2001 as a place where people from various parts of the world can leave their names permanently engraved in wood.
The names on the wall represent hundreds of people (and many pets) from all aspects of life and from various parts of the world.
The allure of the wilderness and the freedom it brings lingers throughout this ten-foot high wall. The wall is situated beside the historic Iditarod Trail in Knik, Alaska and serves as both a memorial to the living and to those who have lived.
The wall serves as a record of visitors to Alaska and to those who share in the spirit of “The Last Frontier.” The wall is intended to remain beside the trail indefinitely.
The Alaskan Wall is surrounded by the vast Arctic terrain, and is the home to many Alaskan plant and animal life. Visitors are welcome here throughout the year.
Everyone is welcome to submit their own name for inclusion on the wall, or that of a loved one.
We walk upon this land but for a short time, and the name we leave here represents the life that has been lived. This wall is the unspoken declaration of the past, the present and the future.
