Teeland's Country Store
About this property
Teeland's Country Store, also known as Herning's Place and Knik Trading Company, is a historic retail establishment located at the corner of East Herning Avenue and North Boundary Street in Wasilla, Alaska. The oldest portion of this wood-frame building is a log structure at the back whose construction dates to 1905. Originally located at Knik as Knik Trading Company, this log structure, then also used as a store, was moved to the newly established town of Wasilla on skids in 1917 by its builder, O. G. Herning. Herning also built the present utilitarian wood-frame structure, which still operates today. The business was purchased by Walter Teeland in 1947, giving it its present name. In 1972, the store was purchased by Jules and Leslie Mead and Neil Gail Bridgewater. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. In 1986, the Meads donated the building to the Wasilla-Knik-Willow Creek Historical Society. The building was moved in 1987 as Teeland's Moonshine Shop, and over the next ten years it was restored to the original look of the Herning's Place. In 1998, Jules and Leslie's son Brian Mead and his wife Colene opened Mead's Coffee House in the building which had become known as the Herning-Teeland-Mead Building. In March of 2007, Krazy Moose Subs moved into the building.
