Keno City Mining Museum, Mining history museum in Keno City, Canada

The Keno City Mining Museum occupies Jackson Hall and displays mining equipment, tools, and artifacts from over a century of gold and silver operations in the region. The collection covers the main techniques and objects that miners used in their daily work.

The museum was founded in 1979 with support from geologist Terry J. Levicki to preserve the mining history that shaped Yukon communities. Mining operations provided the economic foundation for these remote settlements for many decades.

Photographs on the upper floor show how people lived and worked in remote mining camps, capturing the daily routines of these isolated northern communities.

The museum sits at the end of the Silver Trail and opens seasonally from June through September. Plan a few hours to walk through the exhibits at your own pace.

The museum preserves an original telephone exchange switchboard and a 1981 addressograph machine that once processed paychecks for miners. These machines show how administrative work was handled in this isolated location.

Remote natural areas and historic sites in Yukon

32 elements

The Yukon Territory in northern Canada holds a collection of natural areas and historical sites located away from main highways. Visitors discover sand dunes, canyons, glacier landscapes, and natural features like Emerald Lake and hot springs. The region shaped its identity through the gold rush era, which is reflected in towns like Dawson City and in museums that tell these stories of discovery and settlement. The collection includes national parks such as Ivvavik and Kluane that reveal wilderness and mountains, as well as river landscapes with rapids and narrows. Historic sites like Fort Selkirk, the SS Keno river steamer, and the Old Log Church document how indigenous peoples, gold seekers, and early settlers lived in this remote region. Museums in Whitehorse and Dawson City show the history of these communities, from ancient times through the gold rush to modern days. The landscape also offers unusual natural formations such as the sand dunes near Carcross, the pingos around Tuktoyaktuk, and the mountains of Tombstone Park. Roads like the Klondike Highway and Top of the World Highway connect these scattered places and small villages. Each site reveals something about how people lived and worked in this northern corner of Canada.
