Barkerville Historic Town

Barkerville Historic Town & Park in British Columbia was born from Billy Barker's legendary gold strike on Williams Creek and features a preserved streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings representing the 19th-century Gold Rush era. Visitors can explore restored buildings, watch live theatre and demonstrations, and experience what life was like during the Cariboo Gold Rush. The site operates across main season (late May to mid-September) and winter seasons, with accommodations and campgrounds available.
