Barkerville is Open for the 2011 Season!
Today, Barkerville is a historic site like no other...
|
Unlike many gold rush towns from this era - which have long disappeared - Barkerville remains a thriving place, rich in history and full of life. You can tour the town with one of the colourful characters from Barkerville’s past, watch the notorious Judge Begbie strike fear into the hearts of history’s criminals, witness authentic gold rush theatre, and see a real Cornish Waterwheel in action. Pan for gold with your family and friends, visit Barkerville’s well preserved Chinatown, and go back to school in the 1800s. Or, learn about the town at your own pace by visiting our historic buildings and beautiful displays. Our town's merchants, restaurants and accommodations will provide you with everything you need for a genuinely comfortable trip into the province's past.
Events that are planned for the 2011 season are Theatre Royal Gala June 18th, Dominion Day Celebrations July 1, Arts Wells, July 29 - August 1, Williams Creek Sports Day August 6, and the Mid Autumn Festival August 20th .
New this year is the Barkerville Cowboy and Drover Jubilee September 9 - 11.
