Housed in the town's magnificent City Hall that dates back to 1898, the Skagway Museum & Archives documents the history of Skagway and the vital role it played as a critical transportation corridor and gateway to interior Alaska and the Yukon. The historical museum features an array of fascinating exhibits showcasing artifacts, photographs and historical records from the past century, including a WP&YR locomotive and caboose, a Portland Cutter sleigh, a Tlingit canoe, Bering Sea kayaks, and a 1931 Ford AA truck. The museum also displays items used in everyday life in Skagway such as gambling equipment, tools and supplies used in the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 and collection of baskets, beadwork and carvings of Alaska Native heritage.
