The Friends of S.S. Nenana are working with the Fairbanks North Star Borough on the Phase II plan to repair the Stern, Paddle Wheels, and Transom. (back wall) this summer, 2024. We are working on a memorandum of agreement with the borough to do the work.

We need to raise $100,000.00 to make this happen! If you would like to be a part of helping us, you can donate to the Friends of S.S. Nenana at https://www.nscfundalaska.org/support-FSSN

Our fiscal sponsor, the North Star Community Foundation (NSCF), provides administrative services and Internal Revenue compliance oversight. Therefore, we will continue operating under NSCF’s 501(c)(3) non-profit status. Donations to the restoration of the S.S. Nenana are tax deductible. You will receive a receipt for your donation for tax purposes. Any amount of $100.00 or more will receive a receipt for IRS purposes.

The Nenana is the last remaining wooden-hulled steam-powered sternwheeler in Alaska and the U.S. She supplied villages, mines, and WWII military sites. She is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. Please do what you can to help save this magnificent piece of Alaskan history.
