park ranger takes visitors on tour of recently refurbished Jeff. Smith's Parlor Museum at Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Skagway Alaska.

At the height of the Klondike Gold Rush, the port town of Skagway served as the primary gateway to the legendary gold fields, and quickly grew into AlaskaÕs largest settlement. It was then a raucous frontier hub packed with trading posts, saloons and guesthouses. As the gold rush faded into the 1900s, so did SkagwayÑbut today it has been reinvigorated as a gateway for a new kind of visitor: those looking to explore AlaskaÕs colorful history, pristine wildlife and unrivaled natural beauty. The infamous Red Onion Saloon that still keeps a pistol that Wyatt Earp left behind en route to the Klondike.
