Old Town

Gold was discovered in Yellowknife sometime in early 1930s and the subsequent years resulted in a gold rush in the region. Enthusiastic miners from all parts of US and Canada started to pour-in to Yellowknife and they built many tents and wooden dwellings near the Great Slave Lake at a place that’s now called Old Town. Later as the gold rush receded and the miners left the place, these wooden houses were left to ruin until they were found during an archeological excavation in 1969. Visitors can visit the Old Town to touch a part of the history in the ruins of these old buildings.
