Rampart House

Restoration of the historic buildings at Rampart House Historic Site continued in the summer of 2004.  Preparations on the Cadzow House have been made for raising the building and replacing the foundation and flooring system in 2005.  The house is a two storey log building, with logs hewn square and fitted together in a piece sur piece style.  Members of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation from Old Crow worked under the guidance of a log restoration specialist to cut and hew replacement members.

Rampart House Historic Site is co-owned and co-managed by the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation and the Yukon Government under terms of the First Nation’s Final Land Claim Agreement.
