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 museum has closed for the season but there has been much activity on site these past few weeks. In September, Brent Burns completed the rough in for the water hook up, including the connection to the sprinkler system. Rob Ekholm roughed in the electrical and installed the panel and Matt Cladd completed the roofing on the porch constructed over the summer by the Henry clan (George, George and Michael).
Thanks to all these local contractors for their support of this project.
