Description
"Yukon Church in Carcross, Canada" by Catherine Sherman.
This small church in Carcross, Yukon Territory, Canada, is called St. Saviour's Anglican Church. It celebrated its centennial in 2004. This white wooden building is one of the first buildings you see in Carcross, with its small steeple and bell, portico and wood outside chopped ready to feed the burner inside during the harsh winter months.
One of my great grandfathers was in the Yukon in 1902, so when I learned of his travels there, I learned more about the area, known for its gold discoveries.
Yukon is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three federal territories. Whitehorse is the territorial capital. The territory was split from the Northwest Territories in 1898.
