Taft was a mill and railway town established in the late 1800s. The town was named after the manager of the Heed Lumber Company by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Heed Lumber Company operated a logging railway in the town at that time. Much of the settlement of Taft, BC, has now faded away, but the old remains can still be explored via heritage trails.

Of the old settlements, remains of the general store, sawmill, hotel, and train station can still be seen. This ghostly walk through history will bring you closer to the railway settlement way of life responsible for developing much of western Canada and the Rockies.
