Salty Dawg Saloon

[citation needed] In 1949 Chuck and his friend Gerald Gifford put the cabin on skids and moved it to the Homer Spit.

[citation needed] By 1960 the Salty Dawg Saloon had a building adjacent to it, coinciding with The Alaska Territory becoming the 49th state of the union in January 1959.

[citation needed] Earl D. Hillstrand (1913-1974), an attorney, small businessman and member of the Alaska House of Representatives, purchased it in 1960.

[citation needed] Although an Anchorage resident, Hillstrand had a homestead near Homer and was in the process of developing the nearby Land's End Resort at the time.

[citation needed] The bar is known for the thousands of dollar bills signed by visitors and tacked to the walls.
