A collection of over 6,800 hats stapled to the ceiling throughout the restaurant....and growing.
One of the stories associated with the place is the origin of the name....The Alaska highway was constructed in 10 months, 1942-43. One version of "Toad River" is that the engineers had to tow supplies and materials across at that particular point, and it somehow got bastardized from "towed" to "toad." There are many such strange stories and origins to the naming of places in Alaska.
(I mean, why was Denali originally called McKinley? (other than his recent assassination....he never visited the place.)
