Tombstone Territorial Park

Reviewed By KJElmer - Vancouver, Canada

Was only there for a short day trip and there was cloud cover, but you can’t hide the beauty! A nice easy hike, a picnic in an enclosed space with a nice fire and views in any direction. I’d like to make it back some day in August or September. If you’re as far north as Dawson City, it’d be a shame to miss this. The Dempster Highway is also an impressive feat. We crossed the continental divide and went as far as Two Moose Lake - the Arctic Circle was so close and yet so far.

Dawson City Museum

This museum documents the history of Dawson City, with an emphasis on the Gold Rush era.

Reviewed By JenniferandAlan - Easton, United States

The museum is housed in the Old Territorial Administration Building so your history lesson begins even before entering. The exhibits take you from prehistory through the Gold Rush. You learn how the lives of the First Nations people were changed by the fur trade then by the Gold Rush. The story of the Gold Rush is told through the stampeders, the entrepreneurs, and the soiled doves. The history of Dawson City from tent town to the Paris of the North is portrayed through exhibits. The use of the many mannequins dressed in the clothing of the time being part of the exhibits instead of just using the furniture really brings the era to life. Take your time to read the descriptions to really get a feel for the times. As a newly minted senior, I found I was really interested in the "artifacts" as I had used several of them myself. Don't miss the court room upstairs. Enjoy!

Klondike National Historic Site

The Klondike National Historic Sites of Canada commemorate the 1896 Klondike Gold Rush, the role of large corporation gold mining in the Klondike and river transportation in the Yukon. Dawson City, conveniently located at the junction of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers, quickly became the heart of the gold fields during this time.

My friends and I signed up for the walking tour called “Strange Things Under The Midnight Sun” at the information Centre that was a real fun 2 hours. Led by someone from parks Canada, we got a chance to hear an oral history of Dawson City and the madness that came with the Klondike Gold Rush. Very cool that the tour allows you an inside view of some of the preserved buildings, namely the saloon, the post office and the bank. Would definitely recommend this fun activity!

Reviewed By IvanOttawa - Ottawa, Canada

A small but very interesting cultural centre. You learn so much about the Danoja Zho culture which is fascinating. We had a tour with a young 19 year old First Nations guide who was absolutely fantastic! He had so many insights and stories that helped everyone perhaps understand Canadian First Nations history in a new light! A must visit!!!

It was great to take the tour which I highly recommend. The tour guides are well trained and are enthusiastic to share the what they have learned from the gold rush days. It is nice to see restoration was done and ongoing for this as it really tells us great history of the time.
