Historic Downtown Walking Tour

The Historic Downtown Walking Tour meanders along streets that were lined with theatres, saloons, dancehalls, fortune-hungry miners, and those who would seek to part them from their poke.
Guests are welcomed into beautifully preserved gold-rush era buildings not otherwise open to the public, including a staid and stately bank, a gorgeous saloon, and a post office once considered one of the most elegant buildings in the country.

 

Self-Guided Walking Tour

This hour and a half tour through the core of Dawson City offers a wealth of information about how Dawson grew from a moose pasture to a boom town and beyond. Hear stories about the people who came to here as well as the historic buildings that still line the streets of Dawson. This tour can be rented from the Visitor Information Centre and is offered in English, Français and Deutsch.

Please bring your own headphones if possible, respect and follow the guidelines in place for physical distancing, and if you feel unwell, please stay home.
