I think this National Park is half a national park, with the other half in Alaska. The exhibits are as interesting, or more so, than most small historical museums. some areas and exhibits don't look inviting to the general public, and I assume that they are explained on a Field Trip by a Ranger or Docent then. the Interactive comuter kiosks seem a waste of technology, for it's just a multiple-choice quiz. Exhibits on the great fire, too.

Probably not many people have heard of this place. This tiny little one-room museum is fun to see. In 1890s, the would-be miners heading for the Klondike goldfields ( in Canada) made Seattle their outfitting center and contributed to the later prosper of the city. When they struck it rich up north, they headed back to Seattle to unload their gold, making Seattle doubly rich. I heard there are plans to move this little museum into a historic building at the corner of South Jackson Street and 2nd Ave in the near future.

This National Park - technically the smallest national park in the country - tells the story of the 1898 Klondike Gold rush, which had the effect of really putting Seattle on the map. There are a lot of exhibits that demonstrate the risks the prospectors took when they were on the hunt for gold - and how people in Seattle got stinky rich.

Located in downtown's Pioneer Square sits the Klondike Gold Rush Museum. It shows cool artifacts and historical objects that were related to the Gold Rush which occurred in 1896. Its a great place to bring kids to show them what went on and how Seattle was a part of it. Admission to this museum is free and it is open all year round.
