Barkerville - Miner's Log Cabin

Our visit to Barkerville, the historic Cariboo goldrush town, would not have been complete without a postcard of the log cabins so characteristic of this region in the 1860s. Here's one with an added lean-to.

Barkerville - St. Saviour's Anglican Church

On a chilly mid June day, we drove out to Barkerville. Although we've been here many times before, this old historic goldrush town is always worth a visit. For the photographer, there are hundreds of opportunities to get nice pictures. In this case, the subject of the postcard is St. Saviour's Anglican Church, an historic one-storey rustic Carpenter Gothic Anglican building.  Construction of the church began in 1868, once transport routes to this remote Cariboo location had been improved. The church was not finished until after the first service, held on September 18, 1870. Today it is part of Barkerville Historic Town.
