Alaska | Skagway | Red Onion Saloon | Tour | Brothel | Madam | Klondike Gold Rush | Prospectors | History
Step back in time during a tour of Skagway's Red Onion Saloon, the former brothel dating back to 1898. It was during the Klondike Gold Rush when a slew of prospectors moved north in search of gold. When not seeking out their fortune, many of these prospectors "purchased services" and could be found on the second floor of the saloon in one of the "cribs". Today, a tour led by a "Madam" shares stories on the buildings's colorful past.
