Yukon Transportation Museum

Frommer's Review

This fascinating museum presents the development of travel, from dogsled to railway to bush plane, through to the building of the Alaska Highway. You'll come away with a new appreciation of how adventurous and arduous it once was to travel to the Yukon. The exhibits and vintage photos on travel by dogsled are especially interesting. There's also a replica of the historic aircraft Queen of the Yukon, the sister aircraft of The Spirit of St. Louis. A film details the building of the White Pass Railroad from Skagway to Whitehorse, and a model recreation of that railway features a replica of downtown Whitehorse in the 1920s and 1930s. Step outside the museum and you'll see its DC-3 weathervane, the world's largest, at the entrance of the Whitehorse airport.
