The Jeff Smiths Parlor Museum is one of the state’s oldest museums and is dedicated to early Alaskan oddities and the infamous outlaw Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith.
You can go on a ranger-guided tour through one of Skagway’s most prominent buildings, which actually housed “Soapy” Smith and his nefarious band for a few months. Visitors will be able to explore the Smiths Parlor, which has been converted into the home-spun museum. You’ll be able to see the many animatronic mannequins, gold rush era artifacts, strange taxidermy, and folk art while you’re there. Visitors will be able to experience the building as it was in all its glory in 1967.
