Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park celebrates the stories, trails, and boomtowns resulting from the iconic Klondike Gold Rush. Visitors will learn about the famous 1897-1898 gold rush, the Company L Buffalo Soldiers, and more. There are four areas to the park, the first being the Seattle Unit in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle (Klondike Gold Rush Museum), and the other three being in Alaska. Seattle was the major provisions port for those headed to strike it rich in Alaska, and promoted itself as “Gateway to the Gold Fields.” The Klondike Gold Rush Museum preserves Seattle’s role in the Klondike Gold Rush. The free, interactive museum is open daily.
