1897 Clapp and Jones Restoration

In 2015, after many years of fundraising, the 1897 Clapp and Jones Fire Steam Pumper was sent away to ‘Classic Coachworks’ in Blenheim, Ontario be restored to working order by Stan Uher.

After 19 months and about 1400 hours of restoration and a cost of $250,000 the Pumper is restored and on its way back to Dawson City to take pride of place in our museum.
