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 Spring Creek Grade three class came for a visit on Monday. We were very happy to see twenty two scavenger hunters explore the museum site looking for things like; the pot under the bed in the Shantz House or artifact #33 in the machine shed. A good time was had by all on a beautiful sunny day in Pemberton. Thanks to Susan Hamersly and the parents who came for a field trip and we hope they come back for a visit.
