Museum with tractors and implements of eras past, and the Yukon Historical Society Museum and Art Center with a replica of businesses on Main Street, a Wall of Fame and history from inception to present day housed in the original Yukon schoolhouse.
HISTORICAL LANDMARKS The landmark that looms skyward
on Route 66 is Yukon’s Best Flour mill. Landmarks for the old Chisholm Trail are found at the three original watering holes and crossings along the route through town. One watering hole is on the Kirkpatrick homestead adjacent to the 4H Barn and includes an outdoor chapel and windmill, left from early life on the property. The
town is surrounded by unspoiled land. The early agriculture-based economy is evidenced by the amber waves of wheat and the green pastures dotted with cattle as far as surrounding hills will let you see ruts of the original Chisholm Trail can still be found where the ground has remained undeveloped. The Chisholm Trail legacy of the longhorn cattle drives on the major cattle trail’s main branch is kept alive through the local Chisholm Trail historians, J.W. and MaryJo Parker. Historic homes of the original founders are found scattered near the original downtown area on Main Street, which is historic Route 66.
