Last Chance Mining Museum
A museum in a former compressor house of the Alaska-Juneau gold mine, preserving giant air compressors and mining tools.
Located in Gold Creek near the starting point of the Perseverance Trail, the museum was once the compressor house of the Alaska-Juneau gold mine. Exhibits include one of the largest air compressors of its time, ore cars, drilling equipment, and a three-dimensional model of the mine shafts, which explains how Juneau came to be known as the “Gold Mining City.” It's a small museum, but full of historic character. Admission is about $5. It can be combined with the Perseverance Trail for a half-day outing.
