Our Mission

The Treadwell Historic Preservation and Restoration Society was incorporated in 2008 as a 501 (C) (3) non-profit entity to stabilize and preserve the remaining structures and foundations in the Treadwell Mine Historic Park in Douglas, Alaska for the purposes of public access, education, and enjoyment.

Our vision for this unique historical setting is to preserve for current and future generations the mine site and to make available for observation, inspiration and enjoyment an accurate portrayal of the scale of the operation and the story that unfolded at Treadwell.

The Treadwell Society will strive to maximize the potential of the Treadwell site to provide a coherent, educational and interpretative experience that tells the story of the Treadwell-an important piece of Juneau’s history that has received little attention.
