　　The only saloon in Alaska that doesn’t serve booze – but it did during the gold rush, and plenty of it. Built in 1898 the Mascot was one of Skagway's 80 to 100 saloons during its heyday as ‘the roughest place in the world.’ The NPS has turned it into a small museum, with a mock-up of the bar as it used to be complete with life-sized mannequins.

Must-see attractions

Gold Rush Cemetery & Reid Falls

　　Visitors who become infatuated with 'Soapy' Smith and Frank Reid can walk out to this wooded cemetery, a 1.5-mile stroll northeast on State St, where Smith, Reid and many others are buried. Follow State until it curves into 23rd Ave and take the track on the right just before crossing...

Moore Homestead Museum

　　The founder of Skagway was not a gold-hungry Klondike stampeder but the savvy Captain William Moore, who arrived in the area on a hunch in 1887 and built himself a small cabin in the then uninhabited woods. The log cabin (the oldest structure in town) still stands alongside Moore's newer...

Arctic Brotherhood Hall

　　The most outlandish building of the seven-block historical corridor along Broadway St, and possibly the most photographed building in Alaska, is this defunct fraternal hall that was a club for prospectors, now home of the Skagway Convention & Visitors Bureau. Nearly 9000 pieces of highly decorative driftwood cover the facade;...

　　Skagway Museum is not only one of the finest in a town filled with museums, but it's one of the finest in the Southeast. It occupies the entire 1st floor of the venerable century-old McCabe Building, a former college, and is devoted to various aspects of local history, including Alaska...

　　If the crowds are overwhelming you, cross the Skagway River to Jewell Gardens. Located where Henry Clark started the first commercial vegetable farm in Alaska, the garden is a quiet spot of flower beds, ponds, giant vegetables and a miniature train. There is also a pair of glassblowing studios where...
