The Douglas Trail was constructed in the fall of 1858. This was the first public works project on the mainland. It was initiated by Governor Douglas to ensure food and freight could be transported to the goldfields inland.
The Pemberton Museum is now closed to visitors for the season. The exhibits have been packed away for another year. The Gift Shop vendors have picked up their inventory and the gardens have begun to suffer the effects of first frost.
During the off-season, parts of the site are still available for private rentals. Research and Reproductions are handled year round - simply contact us with your request.
The Curator will be on site periodically thorughout the off-season and returns full-time in April. You can contact us via the "Contact Us" section of this website.
