Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park -- Oct 09

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park -- Seattle unit is tucked away in downtown Seattle -- in fact if you weren't looking for it you would probably walk right by without noticing it. The address is 319 Second Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98104.

The San Francisco paper proclaimed the horrible freezing and famine for the Klondikers, but Gold Fever prompted them to go on to the gold fields.

Miners were required to show proof they had 1500 pounds of food stuffs before being allowed to continue on to the Klondike.

This shows the typical lodging for the gold miners. Very rustic and primative.

In front of this newspaper case is where they have a place to get an embossed copy of a steam ship ticket they used back in 1897 for the people going to the Klondike. (The gift shop also has the National Park Passport stamp).
