Yukon Historical Society: Located in Yukon, Canada – Not Oklahoma

Clearing Up the Location: Yukon Historical Society is in the Yukon Territory

The Yukon Historical Society is not in Oklahoma. It is based in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

Correct Address

Why the Confusion?

• There is a Yukon, Oklahoma (city in Canadian County, OKC metro) – but it has its own historical society: Yukon Historical Society (Oklahoma) at 600 E Main St, Yukon, OK 73099.
• Similarly named organizations in different countries.

What the Canadian Society Does

• Preserves Yukon Territory history (Gold Rush, First Nations, aviation, mining).
• Operates archives, publishes Yukon History journal.
• Manages historic sites (e.g., Old Log Church Museum).

If you're researching Oklahoma's Yukon, contact the Oklahoma society. For Klondike, Alaska Highway, or Northern history, contact Whitehorse.
