This is an intersting place to visit, a short walk takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the main street the cabin is locked but if you take a flsh photograph you can see whats inside, the main house is interesting and a showcase of how the well to do lived.

Took a free tour with the National Park Service and ended up here at the Moore House and Cabin. The tour guide was very informative and made the tour very interesting. The cabin is one of the first buildings in Skagway. Best part of the tour was it was free but you have to go to the Park Service Headquarters... More

The cabin is a just off the main street. It takes about 10 minutes to walk around the grounds and read the placards. Some interesting history of Skagway, but nothing more than a short self guided tour.

I went on a free walking tour offered by a NPS Ranger,and didn't really expect much, but she was very interesting and well informed on the history of the Moore family, as well as the area. Not bad for some one who admitted to only started her position a few weeks earlier. Well worth the very short walk around the... More

Interesting stories about the people in and the buildings of Skagway kept everyone amused. NPS has some great... More

The Moore cabin is a small typical log cabin but there is nothing inside. Next to it is the newer Moore House which is furnished in period art and Victorian furniture. The famous piano where the Alaska Song was written is also found here. It is open most of the day, free, run by your National Park Service. Occasionally there... More
