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.
