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.
Diane Valleau and Rick Valleau recently donated a track arch that was used by Valleau Logging in Whistler. We thought it would look best in the park out front to draw attention to the site. Russel Mack and crew moved our museum sign and prepped the site this week. Rick King and Jim Kernahan organized transport with George Henry and we documented the move today. Like any museum project that seems impossible, we are grateful for our donors and volunteers for making projects like this possible.
Here's some pictures and short video of the move.
