Barkerville will be gradually reopening this summer.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's been offering digital sessions through Barkerville Live!, allowing schools and the public to continue to enjoy the national historic site’s interactive programming.

Barkerville Historic Town and Park and Cottonwood House Historic Site have rescheduled their opening dates for the 2020 operating season, announcing both sites will open in phases.

The first phase will begin on June 18 and will include accommodations, shops and restaurants on a modified schedule.

The second phase will begin on July 3 to include exhibits and public programming.

Summer visitors will once again be able to experience life during B.C.’s gold rush and explore the unique streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings, period displays, satellite museums, restaurants and shops.

On Our Radar is just a thing we do when we're looking forward to an event or think the public should be aware of it. Think you have something for it? Email us at [email protected].
