Robert Service, the Bard of the Yukon Lived in Dawson City, Yukon Territory







With a Dawson City map in
hand, we head off in search
of the Robert Service Cabin.






Robert Service's poetry captured the early days of the Yukon Territory.






 I  examine the porch &
 front steps carefully
 constructed with smaller,
 straight  tree branches.






Robert Service lived in Dawson City from 1909 to 1912.







This Birch Chair is a replica of the
one used by Robert Service.

The cup holder is a modern day
addition to the chair's classic style.






This two room cabin is filled
with early 20th Century
household items.




The ceilings are papered &
the walls are plaster & lath.

These additions insulated
the cabin.













Service's small, efficient bedroom






I enjoyed stepping back in time and appreciating Robert Service's writing space.
