The Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center serves as a premier gathering place for discovery and education. By bringing together a multi-cultural partnership, the facility enables visitors to experience world-class exhibits and public lands information in a single, unified space. It acts as a vital lens through which the history and seasonal flow of Interior Alaska are celebrated.

The Center honors Morris Thompson, a leader from Tanana who bridged diverse worlds with diplomacy and grace. By reflecting his values of respect and cooperation, the Center provides a space where the spirit of his work continues to connect the people of Alaska with the rest of the world.
