Cries of “gold!” brought tens of thousands of stampeders to Alaska’s and Canada’s Yukon Territory from 1897 to 1898 during one of the biggest gold rushes in history. Established in 1976, the nearly 13,000-acre Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park commemorates this moment in American history. Here, we explore the park’s Skagway Historic District, a restored boom town that in its heyday accommodated the needs of hopeful gold-seekers with saloons, boarding houses, bakeries, and furriers.
