Where is Keno City located?

Situated at the end of the Silver Trail Highway in Yukon, Canada, Keno City was once a thriving silver mining town that first experienced an industrial boom in 1919. It was originally named after the popular gambling game, but started flourishing from all of the minerals, not just silver, that were found there.

The largesse didn’t last, however, and after several decades, the United Keno Hill shut the mines down in 1989, literally overnight.

Keno decided to shift its business model away from mining for precious materials to tourism, and it seemed to work like a charm. Playing up the fact that it’s a quaint and insular small little town, it’s done fairly well for itself. Visitors mainly check out the Keno Mining Museum that features a variety of different mining materials and tools, along with local historical facts. Singer/songwriter Megan Haddock even made a tribute to Keno City with her track, “Small Town”.
