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.
Cathy Konkle, a local community member, came to the museum to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of raising children in Pemberton today. Cathy also talks about the number of children born in Pemberton in recent years and the need for improved services for families. Despite some challenges, Cathy believes that Pemberton is still a great place to raise children and gave us some great insight into the world of young families in Pemberton. Thanks again to the Pemberton Library for their help with organizing this tale.
You can now view some clips of her presentation on our Events page.
