Barkerville is a historic town located in central British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 1862 during the Cariboo Gold Rush, it was once the largest city north of San Francisco and west of Chicago. Named after Billy Barker, who struck gold there, the town played a crucial role in British Columbia's development.
Today, Barkerville exists as a National Historic Site of Canada and serves as a living history museum, preserving and showcasing the region's gold rush era heritage. The town features more than 125 restored buildings, period displays, and historically dressed interpreters who help visitors understand the daily life, culture, and challenges of a 19th-century gold rush community. The site demonstrates the significant influence of various cultural groups, including European, Chinese, and Indigenous peoples, who contributed to the town's development during the gold rush period.
