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.
