Klondike gold miners of the past, present, and future are honored for their contributions to Dawson City and the Klondike Region. In 1896, gold was discovered on Rabbit Creek, later known as Bonanza Creek, by Skookum Jim, George Carmack, and Dawson Charlie, on the advice of fellow prospector Robert Henderson. This discovery sparked the Great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, and Dawson City and the Yukon Territory were born.
