The popular pastoral attraction just outside of Prince George known as Huble Homestead is offering a day of activities specially tailored to senior citizens on June 5.
The heritage site celebrates seniors day every year, giving older folks the chance to explore the grounds, check out the general store that offers old-fashioned candy and arts and crafts made by local artisans, and watch a blacksmith at work.
Huble House is the oldest building standing on its original location in the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George. It's compared to Barkerville but the difference is that it isn't a town, it's a homestead.
"The seniors seem to enjoy it quite a bit," said Krystal Leason, Huble Homestead's operations manager.
The day begins with a hot lunch and follows up with the demonstrations and activities. And not only is Huble Homestead providing the entertainment, they are also providing transportation to and from the heritage site.
Located 40 kilometres from the city at the northernmost bend in the Fraser River, and without paved roads, the distance can make a visit to the nearly 100-year-old homestead difficult.
"We have changed the layout a little over the years, it's really just a relaxing day trip for seniors, especially for anyone that doesn't have a vehicle or can't get out there on their own easily," said Leason.
There are several pick up points throughout Prince George that leave at 10 a.m. and return by 4 p.m. Transportation is provided, but seats are limited, so book your space now by calling 250-564-7033.
Huble Homestead is open all summer during the week and features several event days for visitors of all ages.
