Hope Alaska Chamber of Commerce

Hope was a gold rush town before Dawson or Nome. The buildings and flavor of the early days still charm, with the store downtown serving customers since 1896, and the turn-of-the-century log Social Hall still hosting community meetings, dances and weddings. Located 88 miles from Anchorage, the scenic mountain community welcomes you to feel the past and experience its friendly present. See Local History, Special Events, Area Photos, and much more.
