| Fairbanks Alaska's Eldorado Gold Mine |
In Fairbanks Alaska, the El Dorado is a historic mine in the area where the rush started back in 1902. Today the rush continues with visitors who want an authentic experience learning to extract gold from the earth.
Originally, El Dorado was a claim developed by the "Swede Brothers"; there are mine shafts on the Fairbanks Alaska property dating back to the early 1900s. Nearby, it was Felix Pedro who ultimately struck it rich and fame of his strike brought the stampeders from the Klondike to Barnette's Landing, now known as Fairbanks, on Alaska's Chena River. Pan for gold in Fairbanks Alaska, and take home a little something in your poke! |
