Charley's Village History

This exhibit explores the history of one of the namesakes of Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. Chief Charley was a Han Athabaskan chief that was well known to some of the first non-native explorers to enter the country in the mid to late 1800s. He is an important historical figure in the region and his is an interesting story.

Community Based Historic Archaeology

During the summers of 2009 and 2010 two separate groups of high school students got to experience genuine field archaeology! Excavations were conducted at the Snare Creek site within the Coal Creek Historic Mining District in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. Analysis of the materials is still ongoing but this exhibit will give you an introduction to the project.
