This project isa continuation nf efforts toproduce a consistent inventory and
awareness ofSevvard's rich history since the formation ofthe city. Past efforts have
included a physical inventory of all known historical sites and buildings. By Increasing
public awareness of sites of historical interest, and by showing both a cultural and
economic benefit to creating a walking tour,there is a greater likelihood that
structures and sites will be preserved for generations tocome.
Seward's HP Commission has also engaged in presentation of yearly Historic
Preservation awards and has been involved in historical projects such as the Hoben
Park restoration, cemetery site identification, mapping and the Iditarod trail
Centennial Monument. Examples of possible identification,could also include
significant sites related to Benny Benson,the Jesse Lee Home,St. Peter's Episcopal
Church,Seward Theater, and other sites of early importance toSeward.

informative signs at the site of these buildings and properties as well as installing
street signs directing visitors to those buildings and places. (4) To develop a

Our organization is a fraternal organization that was founded in Nome, Alaska in 1907 and is the
only one of many Alaska based fraternal organizations still in existence and going strong. Here
is our main website:
Today there are 16 Men and '16 Women Subordinate Igloos that are active in Alaska. The
Grand Igloo unites Alaska's Pioneers by meeting once each year with the subordinate Igloos
taking turns hosting these conventions. Delegates from all the subordinate igloos attend, and
Grand Igloo officers are elected from these subordinate igloos to represent the whole.
The purpose of the Pioneers of Alaska is "to presence the names of all Alaska's pioneers on
its rolls; to collect and presertre the literature and incidents of Alaska's history;and to
promote the best interests of AlasFra."
The Pioneers of Alaska have a rich history in Alaska's territorial and early statehood days. They
have many accomplishments that continue to make Alaska "The Great Land" that it is today.
Our two local Igloos, have helped fund local murals in our area; supported some of our young
Iditarod participants, and donated to various other historical projects.
Since history and preserving history is our primary purpose, we urge you to support the Seward
Historical Preservation Commission on their project to help develop signs for Seward's walking
tour of historical sites. Whenever possible, we aid various groups and causes in our area and
fully approve of the work SHPC has done for Seward.
Sincerely,
kaw"rL&/�O�
