History & Culture

The Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park encompasses only one building, yet offers a glimpse at a time when anyone with about $600 ($20,000 in today's dollars) could dream of travelling to the Yukon Territory in northwestern Canada, strike a claim, mine the gold and strike it rich. Unfortunately, for many their dream of riches was just that, a dream. For most Stampeders, they would come back broke, but with memories of the wild adventure.
