Moore House & Cabin
Moore House
The home of Captain Moore's family, the founder of Skagway. The 1887 log cabin is the oldest building in town.
Captain William Moore foresaw the value of White Pass a decade before the gold rush. In 1887 he built the town's first log cabin here. Later his son expanded the wooden house next to it. The National Park Service has restored both buildings and opened them to visitors, showing life for early pioneer families and the story of the Moore family's struggle over land with gold seekers. Entry is free. It is located near the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Spring Street.
