Bus 142 was removed from the Alaska wilderness in the summer of 2020 and later deposited at  the University of Alaska Museum of the North for long term curation and exhibition. The museum’s goal is to make Bus 142 the centerpiece of a free, outdoor, public exhibit at the museum that will allow people to safely experience all aspects of this vehicle’s history.

Major earthquakes are a part of the history and the future of Interior Alaska. The last 100 years have seen vast changes in how we understand these events and how the impact on the public has been recorded through local newspapers.
