The Skagway Hardware Store should be a stop on any tour of Skagway. Owned the Lingle family since 1962 - this local institution is our local version of Home Depot with a dose of WalMart for good measure. Their motto is "If we don't have it - you don't need it"

If you spend a summer in town, you can get fishing gear, duct tape, a can opener, motor oil, a television, lawn chairs, beach towels, - what ever you might need. If you are a fussy old lady and decide that your shower curtain is "gross" - they got those.

Setting up housekeeping in Skagway? Skagway Hardware has lumber, washers, stoves, sofas and tables, paint, plumbing supplies. And kids toys, plus a modest collection of office and computer supplies. They also have hammers, nails, boats, and casserole dishes.

The store is opened year round - but they do take July 4th off for a tasteful patriotic observance.
