The building is beautiful. My 3 star is only because it’s April and the museum is closed until May! I understand why (I’m here in off season). Would love to come back and have a tour of the inside.

My husband and I visited several museums in Whitehorse but I believe this is my favorite. First of all it is in a log church built around 1900 to fulfill the dream of Bishop Bompas and Rev Bowen to serve the area. The museum has exhibits and displays about the history of the Anglican church in the Yukon dating back to before the Gold Rush. You learn about the pioneers, missionaries, and First Nation peoples. I was especially intrigued with the video about Isaac Stringer "the Bishop who ate his boots". What dedication to his calling. There is a small area with pews where I sat to have a quiet moment. I thought I'd spend a short time but ended up in the museum for a couple of hours. A truly unique museum in an area where focus is on the Gold Rush and the Alaska Highway. There is also a gift shop. An overall wonderful experience.
