Hat Creek Ranch In 1861 Donald Mclean of the Hudson’s Bay Company built the Hat Creek House. Soon it became a popular stop for gold diggers who moved from the Cariboo Waggon Road to the gold fields. At present, you can still admire the house in its original state. Furthermore, you can find at the grounds, among others a big

stable, which was built in 1890 by Steve Tingley, and a blacksmith. In a separate part they have reconstructed a Shuswap Indian village.

Lillooet This little town, situated on the Fraser river, was the starting point of the Cariboo Waggon Road, which led to the gold fields of Barkerville. This point is indicated by the “Mile Zero” monument. In 1863 the number of inhabitants was increased to 15,000. In those days, it was one of the biggest cities north of San Francisco.
