Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Wrangell-St. Elias is the largest National Park in the USA, the size of six Yellowstones, and larger than Vermont and New Hampshire put together! The eastern border of Wrangell-St. Elias adjoins Kluane National Park in Canada.
Kennicott National Historic Landmark
In 1986, Congress recognized Kennicott as a National Historic Landmark, and efforts were begun to stabilize and preserve the site. In 1998, the National Park Service acquired the Kennicott National Historic Landmark, thus adding this important cultural resource to the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.
McCarthy, Alaska
McCarthy was not the first town established to support the mining town of Kennicott. The settlement of Blackburn was a town of hopeful workers and businessmen. Because its location was not on the direct route of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway (CRNR), Blackburn did not endure.
