Klondike Gold Fields

In 1999 The Klondike Gold Fields moved and restored a 1937 Gold Dredge from its working claim in the Klondike Gold Fields of the Yukon. The Dredge is a 350 ton Gold sifting machine brought back from the Klondike and reconstructed piece by piece on the shores of the Skagway River. You will see images of the Dredge in action; while hearing the voices of hardy old-timers who toiled under the Midnight Sun for the tons of recovered Gold. Short videos and audio presentations let you view the people and places affected by the Gold Dredge during its 60 years of operation. After touring the Dredge and Living Museum, visitors will enjoy a funny yet informative gold panning demonstration from one of our friendly characters. Guests are guaranteed a lucky strike while panning for Gold in our covered pavillions and heated-water troughs
