Barkerville’s Main Season returns May 29 – September 12, 2027!
This is Barkerville
Located in Nature’s Heartland, Barkerville was born from Billy Barker’s legendary gold strike on Williams Creek; an event that triggered a multi-billion-dollar industrial revolution. Today, this National Historic Site brings the Gold Rush era to life along a preserved streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings.
Explore historic homes and shops, step inside working displays and museums, connect with costumed interpreters, and experience the stories, sights, and flavours of a 19th-century town set amid the forests and mountains of the Cariboo.
For the protection of visitors, livestock, and wildlife
pets are not permitted within Barkerville’s Heritage Zone
during our Shoulder Season, Main Season and special events.
