At Gold Dredge No. 8,
you
will be offered a variety of experiences. A short video with actual footage of
dredge in operation provides an overview of the entire stripping, thawing, and
dredging processes. Afterwards, you are encouraged to wander through the
attraction's Bunk House, Bath House and Dredgemaster's House as well as the
Supply Center to view interpretive panels and exhibits in order to learn more
about dredges, the daily life of the dredge crews, and the operations of the
Fairbanks Exploration Company.
Next, you are guided through the dredge itself to view its equipment and gain a better understanding of its size. Finally, supplied with an individual "poke" of dirt, you learn first-hand how to pan for gold and keep what you find!
