Town of Bennett, Yukon Territory, February 13, 1900
Order an ImageIn 1897 and 1898, the Klondike gold seekers sailed down Lake Bennett to get to the Yukon River. The town of Bennett grew up to cater to the travelers. Once regular railroad and steamboat service was established, the town shrank and became primarily a railroad stop and telegraph office.
