Keno City Mining Museum is a history museum located in Keno City, Yukon, Canada. It was established around 1979 and has artifacts related to the area's gold and silver mining.[1][2]
The museum occupies Jackson Hall, the city's former community centre built in 1922.[3][4] It was established in 1979 with the assistance of Terry J. Levicki, a geologist who worked for United Keno Hill Mines Ltd., a company in Elsa.[1]
The museum is open to visitors from June to September.[1] Around 1991, the museum received roughly 500 visitors each month during its annual four months of operation.[3]
