will house a variety of classes, concerts, events and other activities. Anderson noted that it will also be available rental so the public can hold weddings and other gatherings. He said they’re adding two bathrooms to the back of the facility, but the overall interior will be fairly simple and rustic with livestock and other farm friendly assets cycling through the doors. “This inside of the barn is going to look like the inside of a barn,” Anderson said. Anderson said the addition of this old yet new facility will help them expand their overall educational efforts, including new youth programs to inspire the next generation of farmers thanks to the artifacts and legacy left behind by the original colonial farmers. “It’s all meant to support agriculture,” Anderson said. The Alaska State Fair owns the Rebarchek property and utilizes the area to promote agriculture through efforts such as holding
educational workshops and providing plots of land for local groups and individuals to experiment with crops. “It fits the whole theme of the Fair,” Anderson said.
The agricultural park is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Anderson said that he works with numerous community members to maintain the area and develop more
opportunities over time. “It’s all volunteers. It’s people with a passion,” Anderson said. For more information, visit alaskastatefair.org/site/rebarchekag-park.
