The
National Postal Museum celebrated the Klondike/Alaskan gold rush centennial
with an exhibit that explored the last great gold rush of the 19th century
and the unforgettable role of the mail carriers who provided contact between
those so far from home and the families they left behind.
Although the exhibit is no longer on view in the Museum, you can still learn more about this fascinating period in American history online.
