Barkerville Historic Town

The historic town of Barkerville was rebuilt as a tourist destination and gave a glimpse into the late 1800-early 1900 life in a mining town. The small houses in this quaint town remind us of an old western movie feel Canadian style with heavy Chinese influences.

Many staff are dressed in the period’s style and are quite engaging in describing life in this period. With its unique streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings, period displays, satellite museums, restaurants, and shops, there is still so much to explore.

Gold Rush Trail

Travelling the Trail, you’ll experience many fascinating “nuggets” of history as you voyage through some of the most spectacular natural beauty in the world, meeting some of the friendliest people along the way.

You’re about to embark on a journey along the Gold Rush Trail that gold seekers who had “gold fever” travelled since the late 1850s who had “gold fever,” hoping to strike gold. Both men and women journeyed into the great wilderness of British Columbia due mainly to the stories they had heard about “easy gold.” Though only a handful struck it rich finding the precious metal, many of these early pioneers helped build roads, railways and bridges and established the great cattle ranches and timber enterprises in British Columbia’s early history.

Cottonwood House Historic Site

Cottonwood House is one of the last remaining roadhouses in British Columbia. With over 75 years of Boyd family legacy, a visit to this historic site will allow you to experience the rich history of the Cariboo region firsthand.

This well-preserved landmark site was a stopping spot for the tired and hungry passing through on the Gold Rush Trail.

St. Saviour’s Anglican Church

This historic one-storey rustic Carpenter Gothic Anglican church was built in 1870. This carefully maintained old church with its original Bishop’s chair, pews, stove, pump organ and windows speaks to a pioneering part of Barkerville’s past.
