Cape Nome Mining District Discovery Sites is a National Historic Landmark located in Nome, Alaska. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1978.[2] It is significant for its role in the history of gold mining in Alaska, in particular the Nome Gold Rush that began in 1899.[3]
It was the discovery of gold at several sites by the "Three Swedes" (Erik Lindblom, __, and ___) that set off the Nome Gold Rush.
Four sites are included within the NHL District:
Anvil Creek Gold Discovery Site, which is separately listed on the National Register[4]
Snow Creek Placer Claim No. 1, which is separately listed on the National Register[5]
Erik Lindblom Placer Claim, which is separately listed on the National Register[6]
Nome Beach, a 12.3-acre (5.0 ha) area[7]
The three Swedes reported they discovered the Erik Lindblom Placer Claim on Mountain Creek on September 19, 1898, the Snow Creek Claim on September 20, and the Anvil Creek Discovery Claim on September 22.[6]
Gold mining in the Nome mining district continues to this day.
