McMahon's Confectionery

Although best known as an 1800s Gold Rush Town, Barkerville was a vibrant and thriving community in the 1930s.

It was home to a number of enterprising merchants who attended to the needs of the burgeoning population. At its peak, the area boasted more people than Quesnel and Prince George combined. These businesses provided everything from specialty tobaccos, chocolates and newspapers, to the day-to-day needs of the household.

McMahon’s Confectionery, once known as the Red Front Cigar Store, was part of this vital merchant community, and sold a diverse selection of treats and sundries.

Today, in our recreated 1930s style confectionery store, visitors can purchase a wide variety of candies, fudges, tobaccos, ice creams, soda pops and specialty products that were available to the towns people of 1930s Barkerville. Map #9.

Open 9am to 6pm during the main summer season. Cash only.
