Barlerville is one of the still operating historic sites in British Columbia. Lots of hands on things to do and see. The tours of this town are a must. Take the stage coach tour see the court house and chat with the magistrate. The Goldrush never ended for this town. It is amazing the amount of earth these hearty men move by hand. Often working straight thru the harse Canadian winter.

Barkerville is a town in which the history of the goldrush of the past is vividly brought back to live. The actors, houses, "old"equipment, shows, shops, hotels, postoffice make you feel that history is alive around you. Very, very special and certainly worth a visit if you''re travelling BC as it is an important part of the history of this part of Canada..

This "living history" town offers the opportunity for all kinds of family fun while learning a bit of real history. One example: The presentation at the "Cornish Water Wheel" gave us real information about mining by means of a very entertaining skit as the "widow of the former mine owner" tried to convince the crowd "to invest in her mine." Another example: Our tour of the Chinese section of the town was given by a native of China who offered unexpected insights into the history of Chinese people in North America. Also, staying overnight at the old St. George Hotel on the main street was an adventure that added to our visit.

We enjoyed the different displays and shops. It was everything we expected and more. As with many tourist attractions we found the photo studio very over priced. Still the photos we had done were great keepsakes of our visit. The actors were very knowledgable and made our visit all the more enjoyable.

Barkerville was a real surprise when we visited. It had an authentic gold rush feel to the place which wasn't dressed up but came across as how the town was back in the day.You can go into many of the buildings and the church was really interesting as it is still a working place of worship - there had just been a wedding there and we could hear the bagpipes and celebrations going on.You can pan for gold or take a ride on a horse drawn wagon. Great fun for all ages.

You must make this a go to place while in beautiful British Columbia. The town is perfectly preserved and very active. Pan for gold while you are there,,get a feel for what really happened and how it was possible. I would return in a heartbeat!

Of all the many historic towns we have visited throughout North America, Barkerville is in a class by itself. It is a true historic town which never was a ghost town, as some of the buildings were occupied all along from its creation to today. None of the buildings were moved in any way, and none look like they were modernized for the tourists. Now Barkerville is a seasonal town with most of the businesses in full operation in the summer. We were hesitant to make the detour from Quesnel to Barkerville as we expected nothing but a tourist attraction. What we found surprised us so much that we ended up spending two full days in the town, and plan to come back.The town is filled with staff acting as "towns folk" in historic attire, fulfilling jobs and roles as they would have 130 years ago. We tried to catch some of them "off guard" but never could. They were very knowledgeable and incredibly good in their roles.We highly recommend Barkerville to anyone who is interested in the gold rush and related history.

What a nice way to end my time in Barkerville! I got to dress up as a Most Respectable Matron and they we able to make me look good doing it! I like their zippy upbeat attitude and well, just a 'thank you' to all of you! The lady photographer was very patient with me (I sometimes need a bit of time to do things as I'm not all that young anymore) and it was really appreciated.The photograph of my husband and me sits in a place of honour on our mantle here in Vancouver and it brings back wonderful memories of an incredible time in a place that's truly a 'step out of time' - and utterly amazing! I hope to visit your studio again one day and maybe I'll get to try on that dress again! Thank you !

Although the site was being prepared for the winter, I was allowed to wander about the village and take photos of interesting buildings etc.

We go to Barkerville annually and it is a new experience each time we go! They had done some expansions and were working on more while we were there this summer. Take a walk to the courthouse, but bring lots of water! Shop around before you buy. The stores are independently operated, so prices vary store to store, sometimes by several dollars per item. There is a lot to see, explore and learn and one day is not quite enough to get it all in.
