Museum
SKAGWAY MUSEUM MISSION: to enrich community life by collecting, preserving, and interpreting the cultural heritage, arts, and history of the Skagway and Taiya Valleys.
Skagway's unique history as a vital transportation corridor and gateway to interior Alaska and the Yukon is portrayed in the Skagway Museum's permanent collection of artifacts, photographs, and historical records of the past century exhibited in the venerable McCabe College building located at Seventh Avenue and Spring Street.
McCabe College, originally built as a school in 1899 by the Methodist church, closed in 1901 and the building was sold to the federal government for the U.S. Court House. The building served as U.S. Court House and jail until 1956, when it was purchased by the City of Skagway. In 2000, the City of Skagway celebrated its centennial and the completion of a new addition to the century-old McCabe College Building, which has served as City Hall and Skagway Museum since 1961.
The non-profit Skagway Museum was established in 1961 by Skagway citizens as a municipal community museum. The Museum is a department of the Municipality of Skagway and has an advisory Museum Board.
