DAWSON CITY
A LIVING GOLD RUSH TOWN
Dawson City is an eclectic and vibrant
community on the banks of the Yukon River.
We boast a mixture of First Nations Heritage
and Gold Rush History blended with an
active Gold Mining and Tourism Industry as
well as a thriving Arts scene.
Dawson’s past is marked by Beringia, an
Ice Age period which formed our unique
landscape and the treasures they contain,
the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, who have called
this area home for centuries, as well as the
Klondike Gold Rush, that put this town on
the tongue of stampeders worldwide.
Dawson today is a colorful and involved
community that still has the look and feel
of a wild-west town, with the personalities
to boot. Miners, Artists, Wanderers, and the
First Nations still call this place home.
