The Moore Homestead, Skagway, Alaska

Captain William Moore and his son Ben Moore were the first white settlers in what is now Skagway, Alaska. Captain Moore knew of the many prospectors seeking gold in Alaska and the Yukon and wisely predicted that this area, which was called Shghagwei by the Tlingit natives would be a key location for a gold rush. His prediction turned out to be correct. The first home was a small log cabin. Later a one and a half story wood frame house was constructed. The log house is the oldest structure in Skagway. The site is maintained by the U.S. National Park Service.
