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.
Guests at our July 27 Tea and Tales had the opportunity to enjoy an excellent presentation along with their tea and home baked goodies, as Veronica Woodruff gave her talk on Pemberton Woodlands. Veronica's talk was well received, and gave all who attended a closer look into the inner workings and importance of Pemberton's vital wetlands. Thank you Veronica for your interesting and informative presentation. Clips of Veronica's Presentation will soon be available.

Guests Enjoying Pemberton Wetlands Presentation
We had 56 guests at our tea, many of whom attended Veronica Woodruff's presentation. Brooklyn and Isabelle volunteered to help serve tea and goodies and wash up all the pretty cups after the last guest had left; thank you girls for your hard work! Thank you all for supporting the Museum and we'll see you next week when former Pemberton Pharmacist and Pharmacy owner Bob Priest comes to town to give his talk.
