Hometown, Alaska: The Mat-Su Colonists, 75 years later

Wed, July 21, 2010
Posted in Hometown, Alaska | 1 Comment

The colonists used the train for eating and social events even after they had arrived and set up their tent city. Here they gather for a dance with local talent providing the music. Photo from MSB Sanbote Collection, courtesy of the Mat-Su Borough Cultural Resources Dept.

Some 200 families from the barren farmlands of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota chose FDR’s 1935 New Deal challenge to re-launch their lives in Alaska as farmers. They became the hope of a nation wracked by the Great Depression in what reporters called a “socialist experiment.”

What was it like to be a colonist? We’ll learn from Gerry Keeling, one of the first babies born to the newly staked farmers. She grew up in Palmer and attended K-12 at the Palmer Territorial School. She has stories of community, hardship and even heartbreak – but maintains an abiding belief in the resilient spirit of the colony pioneers.

Joining the program in the second half is Eileen Probasco, chief planner for the Mat-Su Borough. Eileen moved to the Valley at age 13. She remembers when Palmer was the big town and Wasilla just a wide spot in the road. Eileen’s own family experienced the rapid growth in the Valley. Today, she wrestles professionally with the challenge to meet the needs of Alaska’s fastest growing community.

Join host Kathleen McCoy for a look at Mat-Su’s unique history and how that foundation shapes the valley today on Hometown, Alaska Wednesday at 2:00 pm.
