We enjoy historical villages, from Skansen (Stockholm) to Colonial Williamsburg, and we enjoyed Fairbanks Pioneer Park despite the city's relative youth...dating only from the later 19th century. In addition to numerous historic buildings, artifacts, photographs, and more, Pioneer Park was unique to us in that most of the old buildings housed current stores and businesses.
