Keno City Mining Museum

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.
