Description : In 1862, Billy Barker found gold on William,s Creek - a discovery that started a rush of fortune seekers from all over the world. Thousands of people traveled the Cariboo Wagon Road between 1862 and 1870, converging on the boom town called Barkerville.

After 1870, Barkerville remained a supply town for the gold fields until it was taken over by the Province of British Columbia in 1958 and run as one of Canada,s largest historic sites.
