Treadwell: Alaska's Lost Mine Augmented Reality Walk
The historical ruins, town and mine of Treadwell come to life as you walk through time, from the discovery of gold in 1880 to the tragic cave-in of the mine in 1917, on a unique guided tour using augmented reality (AR) software. Covering 0.75 miles of trail, you'll engage with 11 fully scaled augmented-reality stories showcasing what made Treadwell famously the largest city in Alaska for its time. See a full re-creation of the original 500-foot wharf complex, an interactive 3D scaled map of over 100 miles of mine tunnel, and a life-size model of a 1900s steamship. Learn the mining process, "shop" at the original Treadwell general store, and witness a dramatic representation of the night of the cave-in, which led to the collapse of half the town in under six hours. Attendees will be provided with an iPad, carrying case with shoulder strap, and bottled water.
What you will see along the way:
Sit back and relax on your quick transfer, enjoying a moment to admire the scenic vistas as you travel the capital city to Treadwell's historical site in a nature-filled rainforest setting.
