Who built the Santa Claus House?

In 1949, Con and Nellie Miller and their two kids moved to Fairbanks with nothing but $1.40 in their pocket. Hardworking and determined, Con soon made a living as a merchant and fur buyer. In 1952, he decided to build a trading post in an area just outside Fairbanks called North Pole. Toiling away at his new store, a little boy asked Con, “Hello, Santa Claus! Are you building a new house?”. Just like that, Con found his store’s name – ‘Santa Claus House’!

Back in the day, the store offered basic necessities. Today, it is a treasure trove of all things Christmas – fresh ginger bread, homemade fudge, candies, Christmas trees, decorations, ornaments and much more. At Santa Claus House, you’ll never run out of cheerfulness and twinkle. Of course, you cannot leave without a photo session with Santa.

A must do at Santa Claus House is the ‘Letter from Santa’, a tradition that has been around since 1952. Santa Claus House receives thousands of letters from children around the globe every Christmas. Send these letters to your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and watch their faces gleam with joy when they receive a letter from Santa. Each letter comes with a note, a Santa Claus dollar, a photo of Santa, and a sticker saying ‘I’m on Santa’s Good List’.
