The Free Box
The Trapper Creek Free Box was established approx. 35 years ago to provide a public receptacle for donations available to all. It has been housed in several locations, in different capabilities, but always with the intention to help others. This resource was established anew in 2012, residing now in the Trapper Creek community park. It is managed, very successfully, 7 days a week, by a committee of four volunteers under the auspices of the Trapper Creek Community Services Association, Inc.
The Trapper Creek Memorial Wall was completed in October 2020. It is located at the east side of the Trapper Creek Cemetery as a lasting tribute for those departed folks that have been a part of the history of Trapper Creek.
The Wall is constructed of 6” x 6” spruce timbers stacked horizontally in three interlocking sections. Mounted on the wall are vertical birch boards on which plates will be affixed with individual names, date of birth, date of death, and any military affiliations. The three sections are designated for Veterans, those buried in our cemetery, and all others. Each year before Memorial Day engraved stainless steel plates are added to honor those individuals who have contributed to Trapper Creek history.
The Memorial Wall is unique and fitting to our frontier Trapper Creek lifestyle, including many burled logs, the joining of the timbers of the wall in the style of a log cabin, and the fine wood-burning of the titles for each of the three wall sections: Veterans, Trapper Creek Memorial, and Cemetery.
DEDICATION MAY 30, 2021
“Today we respectfully honor the settlers and residents of Trapper Creek, Alaska who have passed on.
We recognize them for:
· being makers of homes, providers, builders of roads and bridges, tillers of soil, hunters and fishers, seekers of gold, and the wearers of many hats,
· the examples they set for ingenuity, and the ability to thrive and survive many an Alaskan winter using their wits,
· their strengths, knowledge of life and the respect and time they accorded, family, neighbors, and friends,
· teaching by example, as good teachers do, and their creative spirit and the finely honed ability to make something useful or beautiful out of practically nothing or commonplace.
These are real Alaskans, proven by their love of the land and, as Veterans, in their service to the United States of America.
With this memorial we have ensured that they will be in our memories forever.”
