Reviews
"Visiting the decorated rooms of this historic house is cool, but also, the ranger presented a short program detailing lesser known women of the Klondike era. Women like Betsy Couture and Harriet Pullen. One was a journalist who traveled to the Klondike to do newspaper reporting. Another followed miners to work as a business entrepreneur, running a hotel. I enjoyed this ranger's presentation and her courage to present it to incoming tourists. It did seem to be a passion project. I wish there were more ranger passion projects."
"Pretty neat and important history of the town of Skagway. It is free and I went when the buildings are closed. If you are on a cruise and have time, then check it out."
"Visiting the museum gave us a first hand view of what it would have been like to live in these times. The house includes many of the original artefacts from the home and family plus more information about the cultural history of the area and the family. Entrance is free and a NPS officer will be there to answer any questions you may have. Despite the number of tourists in town with the cruise ships, there weren't many visitors to the house but it is worth your time to learn more about the first house in Skagway."
"Free entry (optional donation) Interesting to look at the lives of a family in the Gold Rush era. What decorations they have in their homes, their stories and their struggles"
"We happened to pass by this restored house and it was quite interesting to look around and see how this family struggled during the gold rush. If you have spare time in Skagway it's worth calling in... but only if you have spare time."
