Yukon Transportation Museum
Museum telling how dog sleds, paddle steamers, the White Pass railway, bush planes and the Alaska Highway opened up the Yukon.
At the entrance stands the world's largest weathervane: a real DC-3 airliner that turns with the wind and serves as a landmark beside the airport. Inside, the museum displays early sleds, stagecoaches, narrow-gauge steam locomotives, bush planes and the construction vehicles used to build the Alaska Highway. Together they show the Yukon's transport history from the gold rush to the highway era. It sits next to the Beringia Interpretive Centre, and you can plan half a day to visit both.
Opening hours
Summer daily approx. 10:00–18:00; winter open weekends (check the official website)
