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.
