Fort Reliance was established in 1874 by the Hudson's Bay Company as a fur trading post on the Yukon River, predating the gold rush. Today, the site features reconstructed buildings and interpretive panels that tell the story of the fur trade and early European-Indigenous relations. Visitors can explore the grounds, view artifacts, and imagine life at this remote outpost. Its location along the river offers scenic views, and the site provides a quieter counterpoint to Dawson City's gold rush frenzy, highlighting a different era of northern history.
