The Matthew Watson General Store is a charming spot in Carcross, Yukon, that feels like a step back in time. Operating since the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, it's a family-owned gem where you can browse antique goods, indulge in homemade fudge, and savour delicious ice cream in a cosy, historic setting. With a rich history and friendly atmosphere, it's a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike.
Eryn's Tips:
One of the oldest continuously operating stores in the Yukon! There are so many fun and unique items in here, and I always love to browse around! You can find clothing, art, trinkets, indigenous made goods and much more inside. (They also have some pretty hilarious signs.)
If you are a sweet treat kind of person, there is a big candy store with ice cream as well :) We will often wander around Carcross Commons and then grab an ice cream before getting back in the car and continuing our drive.
Also, the store is pink and super photogenic, so make sure to snap a few pics in front of it if you can! :)
