Chester Henderson was a woodcutter and a collector of axes that he donated to a museum in Ottawa. He prospected near Dawson for hard rock gold, looking for the motherlode. In the early 1950s, he lived at Henderson Corner outside of Dawson on a farm with a wide expanse of hay meadows, pasture land, and several neat buildings. This was the headquarters for Henderson’s guide and outfitting business. The North Klondike Highway was built right past [through] the farm.((Jack Fraser, "As I remember...: Tales of a Pioneer Road Builder in the 1950s." //The Klondike Sun// (Dawson), 22 April 2009.))
