George Danner, Sr. and his wife, Rosa Maier Danner came to Juneau from Germany in the early 1900s. In 1914, upon the birth of George Jr., the couple rented acerage from Tom Knudson, who had a 160 acre homestead on the Mendenhall Flats. Knudson's Mendenhall property was in the vicinity of the airport and was later purchased by Joe Kendler of the Alaska Dairy. George Sr. cultivated a herd of cows and ran the city milk deliveries. By 1922, the Danner family homesteaded 130 acres near the Glacier Highway and built a small barn, milk house and family home and were later joined by Rosa's brothers, Frank and William Maier. Eventually, the Danner family built a large barn that included an automatic watering system and sterilization rooms. In 1944, the Danner family moved to Chula Vista, California, where Mrs. Danner became ill and died in 1952. George Jr. returned to Alaska in 1945 and became plant manager of the Juneau Dairies, Inc. In 1950, the Danner's sold the dairy operation to Maynard Peterson and George Danner Jr. purchased the family home at Norway Point where he lives today (1992).
