Take a tour of an authentic gold dredge used for placer gold mining in the Yukon. Your tour includes a history of mining from the days of the Gold Rush up to present day techniques. This is a unique opportunity to come onboard one of only a few rescued dredges from this era.

Take a tour of the Sixtymile Dredge, moved in September 1999 from Dawson to Skagway. The dredge master will introduce you to mining techniques used in the Klondike and will acquaint you with the inner-workings of this 350-ton dredge brought piece-by-piece from the gold fields.  Historic photos and video help bring the past to life as you learn about the impact of the dredges on people and places during their years in use.  Learn about mining techniques as you also see equipment used in placer mining.
