Barkerville Historic Town and Park will host a BC Family Event this Feb. 19, offering free admission to the pioneer heritage site, thanks to provincial funding.
“It’s shaping up to be a very fun Family Day,” said Stewart Cawood, Barkerville’s Manager of Public Programming and Media, in a press release.
“We are extremely grateful for this funding opportunity made possible by the Provincial Government and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture, and Sport,” he added.
Barkerville has something for all ages, offering activities such as kick sled races, and demonstrations at the print and blacksmith shops.
Refreshment can also be enjoyed by visitors at The House Hotel from 10 am to 6 pm, and an JP Winslow will present his one-person show “Sherlock Holmes Alone” at the Methodist Church.
Barkerville will also be offering an in-person two-for-one sale on annual passes for the upcoming summer season, and other BC Family Day events will be taking place throughout the province
