Every ghost town is a bet that didn't pay off. Curry just shows the receipt more honestly than most. Sean Curry (born April 29, 1982) is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman. He has previously played in Europe for the Hamburg Freezers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga during the 2010–11 season.
Matanuska-Susitna Borough County holds 3 documented ghost towns, including Independence Mines, Knik — Curry keeps them company on the map.
The story of Curry
Alaska's ghost towns are the most extreme on the continent — total commitment, total abandonment, everything preserved by the cold.
Sean Curry (born April 29, 1982) is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman. He has previously played in Europe for the Hamburg Freezers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga during the 2010–11 season. The following season he moved to Sweden to play with Rögle BK in the HockeyAllsvenskan (2nd division). Following his stint in Europe, Curry returned to the United States and spent two seasons playing for the Alaska Aces in the ECHL. On September 25, 2014, Curry announced that he had retired from playing professionally.
What you'll find today
The on-the-ground condition of Curry is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.
Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.
Getting there
Here's the honest truth: access to Curry is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.
Good to know
Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
