The Yukon Transportation Museum (YTM) is a non-profit organization and registered charity located in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, on the traditional territories of the Ta'an Kwächan Council and the Kwanlin Dün First Nation. Founded in 1990, YTM specializes in exhibiting and examining the Yukon Territory's rugged character through stories of ingenious and self-sufficient transportation modes, entrepreneurs, pioneers and inventors. The museum's mandate is to 'identify, acquire, preserve and conserve the history, cultural material and artifacts of Yukon's transportation modes, and to interpret this history in an educational manner for all Yukoners and visitors alike.'

Archeologists and paleontologists believe this non-glaciated crossing played a crucial role in the migrations of many animals and humans between Asia and the Americas.
