Description
Rika's Roadhouse was an important stop on the Valdez-to-Fairbanks Trail. The original section of the roadhouse was built in 1913 on the banks of the Tanana River by John Hajdukovich. In 1917 he hired Rika Wallen to run the roadhouse. She bought the building in 1923, and it was renamed Rika's. She operated the roadhouse until the 1940s. Today it is restored and is now a part of the Big Delta State Historical Park, off the Richardson highway..
