Haines Junction, like many AlCan towns, was an important site for construction the AlCan, started in 1942. Haines Hwy was done too. The Village Monument represents the terrain and wildlife of the Kluane area. The 24 foot creation is locally known as "The Muffin," and "Animal Cupcake." This man was gracious enough to show me a mammoth tooth discovered at a Dawson City mining site. Both ancient and current fauna on display.
