1. Historic Location of the Sullivan Roadhouse Marker
The Sullivan Roadhouse was originally located 18 miles southwest of the city of Delta Junction, at the midpoint of the Donnelly Washburn Winter Cut [O]ff. The cut off shortened the trip by 35 miles, more than a day's travel at that time.
The roadhouse was moved to Delta Junction in 1996. Today, it sits on mile 266 of the historic Richardson Highway, which roughly follows the route of the old Valdez to Fairbanks Trail.
Erected by Delta Chamber of Commerce.
