WATCH NOW: Going back in time for Family Day at Barkerville

Family Day Weekend Celebrations featured town tours, presentations, demonstrations and exhibits

Barkerville was bustling with activity last weekend, as the living museum opened for its enhanced Family Day Weekend Celebration.

Many exhibits and shops were open Feb. 15-17, and Barkerville Historic Town and Park’s popular interpreters led Victorian Town Tours and offered demonstrations and presentations throughout the weekend. There was face painting for this special event, and the Shamrock Tube Run and skating pavilion were open. This year, Barkerville also offered private lessons in the basics of heritage blacksmithing at the Cameron and Ames Blacksmith Shop and private lessons operating the Cariboo Sentinel’s 1890s printing press.
