Jamie and Jennifer visit Dawson City to learn about the Klondike Gold Rush. 13-year-old Gemma Gould, whose family has been in the area for 101 years, will show the explorers some of Dawson's historic buildings, many of which have been jointly declared a National Historic Site. Gemma often helps her dad at a placer mine claim in the summer, and will explain why mining is still important today. Her grandfather will teach the group more about the history of the Gold Rush.
