Explore the Moore Homestead
Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
The Moore Homestead was established 10 years before the gold rush. Today, contemplate early frontier life in the wilds of remote Alaska as you explore the first building in Skagway and the first family to live here.
Ten years before the Klondike Gold Rush, Captain William Moore arrived in what is today Skagway. He predicted the valley would become an important transportation corridor, established a homestead, and named the area Mooresville.
