Why I recommend this place to visitors

There is no dirt road which leads to this place, it is entirely paved to the historical site.

A wonderful step back into the historical town which was, in 1868, the largest centre of population west of Chicago and north of San Francisco.

A review of this place: Cool ghost town

It’s a long way out on a dirt road, but Barkerville is a very well preserved gold mining ghost town, similar to Bodie in California. It’s a nice place to just take a few hours and walk around, re-living the past and getting away from civilization.
