Did you know?
Port Pemberton was founded as a stopping point on the historic Harrison-Lillooet gold rush trail 160 years ago.
30,000 gold-rushers passed through this region from 1858 to 1865 and Port Pemberton was an important stopping point for travelers making their way to Lillooet and the gold-fields beyond!
