This is a darling museum and gift shop at the top of Alyeska Resort. We visited the top of the ski lift during off season in the summer, around early July. The view is absolutely worth the trip...

The Roundhouse at Alyeska Museum, nestled in Girdwood, AK, stands as Alaska's solitary mountaintop museum and interpretive center. Located 2,280 feet above sea level, the Roundhouse is an iconic octagonal building accessible via aerial tram or ski lift. Originally a warming hut, it evolved into a beloved mountain hub and eventually, a museum showcasing the rich history of the region.
Constructed in 1960, the Roundhouse was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2003. Its transformation into a museum and interpretive center offers visitors a glimpse into the past through exhibits and artifacts. Noteworthy is The James Girdwood Collection, featuring photos from 1896-1904, a testament to the preservation of Girdwood's heritage, now available in digital formats for all history enthusiasts.
