Barkerville Historic Town | British Columbia Photo Spot

Barkerville Historic Town is an amazing gold Rush-themed living museum complete with period buildings and costumed guides. Billy Barker’s legendary gold strike on Williams Creek triggered a multi-billion dollar industrial revolution that literally built a province. Today, the extraordinary historic town of Barkerville stands as a living testament to BC’s golden beginnings. With its unique streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings, period displays, satellite museums, restaurants and shops there is still so much to explore. www.barkerville.ca (Barkerville, British Columbia, Canada)
