Kirsch's Place, also known as the Fireweed Station Lodge, and now the Fireweed Station Inn, is a historic traveler accommodation near Talkeetna, Alaska. It is located about south of Talkeetna, roughly east of mile 215.3 of the Alaska Railroad, a place known as Sunshine Siding. It is a -story log structure, built in 1946 by John Kirsch as a residence and guest lodge. Kirsch operated the lodge until his death in 1959. The lodge is a rare survivor of a post-World War II rural building boom, which was later eclipsed as roads and settlement in the area became more prevalent.
The lodge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
