Link: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner The railroad car that carried President Warren Harding during his 1923 tour of Alaska, usually open to visitors at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks, was closed this summer after water entering through its leaky roof caused damage and set back plans for refurbishment. A giant carport-style roof has been built over the car to keep water out while the park and borough pursue funds for repairing the car. It's uncertain whether it will be open for tours next summer.
