The Skagway Centennial Statue was erected in 1997 by the Skagway Centennial Committee as a way to commemorate the area’s rich history.
It was sculpted by Chuck Buchanan with design input from various organizations and individuals, such as Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, Si Dennis Sr., and Dr. Bob White. The sculpture represents a typical scene from 1897 at the start of the Chilkoot or White Pass trails and shows a Tlingit packer wearing traditional clothing of bear fur. He is leading a stampeder who has just come off the Puget Sound ship and seems determined to reach the gold fields.
