What a hidden gem of history sandwiched between high rises. Learning the history of the Alaskan gold rush, and of Seattles early settlers experiences transported you there. So much history has been lost.
Sincerely,
Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park - Seattle
Located in the historic Cadillac Hotel, the Klondike in Seattle bookends the legendary route from the Lower 48 states to the Yukon gold fields during the Gold Rush of the late 1890s.
State(s): Washington
Established: 1976
“My father would always take us driving around our forests. The ecosystem that supports our earth, our wildlife our trees. We need those things to survive and learn from. we need to preserve it so we have a generation to come after us.”

Greetings from Virgin Islands National Park
Caneel Bay is where my wife and I got married on May 25th, 1998. It was the most wonderful place in the whole world to get married (and spend our honeymoon). Truly magical and sorely missed!
