The historic town of Barkerville was rebuilt as a tourist destination and gave a glimpse into the late 1800-early 1900 life in a mining town. The small houses in this quaint town remind us of an old western movie feel Canadian style with heavy Chinese influences.

Many staff are dressed in the period’s style and are quite engaging in describing life in this period. With its unique streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings, period displays, satellite museums, restaurants, and shops, there is still so much to explore.
