Fodor's Expert Review Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
Pioneer Square
History Museum
A tiny yet delightful free museum illustrating Seattle's role in the 1897-98 Gold Rush in the Klondike region, this gem is located inside a historic redbrick building with wooden floors and soaring ceilings. Walls are lined with photos of gold miners, explorers, and the hopeful families who followed them. Interactive components include ranger talks and gold-panning demonstrations.
