Ever wonder about the moose on that one building? If you have ever been to Whitehorse, you know which building I am referring to. Swing by the Widdershin House, stop by for a pint, and see why this wandering old log cabin has become one of Whitehorse's most charming little legends

Historic Building of the Week: Cyr House!

Raised on Wood Street in 1907, the Cyr House began as a hand-built gift from the Cyr brothers to the McGees. More than a century later, it still carries the weight of the people who passed through its doors - teachers, cooks, travellers, and families who shaped everyday life in early Whitehorse.

Since 1998, it has been used as a Bed & Breakfast called Historical Guest House!
