ABOUT
Skagway Store & Community
Skagway, in southeastern Alaska, is known for its Gold Rush history and scenic location along the Inside Passage. Originally inhabited by the Tlingit people and the towns name comes from the Tlingit word Skagua, meaning “a windy place with white caps on the water”. During the Klondike Gold Rush, Skagway served as a gateway for prospectors heading to the Yukon. Today, Skagway preserves its heritage through historical sites and museums. The community also benefits from tourism, with visitors exploring the trails, waterways, and historic downtown. Skagway’s location offers stunning views and access to outdoor recreation.
