In the early 1950's, Con and Nellie Miller, new to Alaska's interior, began a small trading business to the villages. Donning an old red Santa suit, Con earned celebrity status as Santa Claus in the eyes of the village children. In 1952 as the Millers began building a trading post in the new settlement of North Pole, thirteen miles from Fairbanks, some of their young friends called out, "Hey Santa Claus, are you building a new house?" The name caught on and Santa Claus House was born. More than fifty years later the family tradition of spreading Christmas cheer continues as the next generations of Millers build on the past with an ever-expanding store filled with beautiful Christmas and Alaskan gifts and collectibles. We invite you to enjoy several of our unique selections as you browse our new on-line store...
