George C. Thomas Memorial Library, also known as the former North Star Borough Library or AHRS FAI-004, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978.[2][3]
According to the National Park Service, "This log structure was the site of a 1915 meeting between U.S. Government officials and native Alaskans to settle land and compensation claims. The meeting started a dispute that was not resolved until passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971."[2]
