British Columbia’s central interior has been profoundly shaped by gold thanks to a simple, working-class English prospector named William ‘Billy’ Barker who, in 1862, spearheaded a twenty-year, multi-billion dollar industrial revolution that helped build a Province. Today, the extraordinary town of Barkerville (named in Billy’s honour) still stands as a testament to BC’s golden beginnings. With a unique streetscape of 125+ heritage buildings, authentic displays, satellite museums, restaurants, shops and accommodations, there are so many things to do in Barkerville. Declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1924 and a Provincial Heritage Property in 1958, Barkerville is now the largest living history museum in western North America, where exciting seasonal events and fun-filled daily activities await.
