Wyatt Earp, who had run saloons since leaving Tombstone, opened the Dexter Saloon at Nome with his partner Charles Hoxie in the fall of 1899, at the height of the Nome gold rush. It was the town's first two-story building and its largest saloon, serving as a gathering place on the scale of a town hall, and Earp is reported to have left Nome in 1901 with some $80,000 in profit. Ephemera from the Dexter connects directly to Earp's Alaska years, the last saloon venture of his career.
