On the corner of 2nd and Jackson not far from King Station. This maybe a small National Park site but worth the time to stop and look. Lots of interactive displays and history about Seattle's part in the Klondike Gold Rush. There are a couple good videos to watch and works well with kids of all ages.

I happened upon the Klondike Gold Rush museum while walking through Pioneer Square. The museum has two floors dedicated to the Gold Rush itself, as well as Seattle's role. I found it interesting and informative. Plus, it was free!

This charming National Park site tells the story of Seattle's role in the gold rush in the Yukon--it really put us on the map as an important port. The film emphasizes the hardship prosecutors endured to stake their claims--hiking up and sliding down to stock their camps. The Nordstroms and Filsons got their starts supplying the hopeful--still doing so today!

This museum is south of downtown. It is very nice two story building with top of the line exhibits that make you feel like you are there during the gold rush. Run by the NPS staff is very friendly and helpful. There is interactive exhibits along with photo and real life displays.

Gold! read the headlines in July of 1897. After years of struggling through a depression, the people of the nation were intrigued by the possibility of riches. Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park preserves the story of the 1897-98 stampede to the Yukon gold fields and Seattle's role in this event. The park offers a glimpse at the stories of adventure and hardship of the gold rush.

When gold was discovered in the Alaskan Klondike, thousands of miners tramped through Seattle on their way to seek their fortunes. Some stayed and made fortunes in other ways including John W. Nordstrom, the founder of Nordstrom department stores. Seattle played a big role in the Gold Rush of 1898, and Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park tells the story. Located in historic Pioneer...
