Purchased in 1994, the Wolf Creek Boatworks has been an ongoing restoration of history. The buildings and equipment have been painstakingly restored to preserve the historical integrity, while making improvements and upgrades to meet the current demands of a functioning boat shop. It's been a learning experience over 27 years and 3 generations of Romeys have contributed to the labor of love.

Over the years, while following the special permitting guidelines set down by the USFS for land use, the Romeys have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars and endless hours to bring Wolf Creek back to life.

​

Now, the State Mental Health Trust is ready to take it all away, in order to log the land. Please lend your voice to help stop the State from evicting the boatworks from the land that it's been on for more than 80 years.

Today, Wolf Creek Boatworks has done well to maintain and preserve the significant historical process of our SE Alaska heritage.

Historic Wolf Creek has been my home and labor of love for 29 years. Since 2015 I have been working to save the historic site but the State of Alaska Mental Health Trust has no interest in a equitable, fair solution or interest in protecting the site. They have refused to sell the land or provide any of the protections, preventive or preservation measures they agreed to in the land swap. Without safeguards in place this historic landmark is in peril. Without constant investment of funds, equipment, labor and tools the buildings will eventually decay and be no more.

Please call, email, text, or Facebook message

your political representatives to ask for the Wolf Creek Boatworks to be protected.
