On top of that we have books from 13 independently published authors, CD's from 20 BC musicians, and purchase from 8 family run independent Canadian suppliers.

Came here in the summer and met this lovely couple - the owners of the Frog in the Bog, who then they saved us from the soggy rains during ArtsWells with dry socks and warm blankets (we purchased) and interesting conversations and coffee. That is when we learned about their accommodations above the gift shop and across the street in a cozy guesthouse they renovated. Now,6 months later we returned for Victorian Christmas in Barkerville and stayed across the street in the Mountain Thyme Guesthouse.Coffee and hot chocolate is sold in their gift shop and can't say enough about their gem of a guesthouse. Will be coming back says it all. Thanks so much.

I’ve often admired this beautiful log building on our way through Williams Lake, but never realized it had a museum in it! What a treasure trove of local history, artifacts, and memorabilia! There is literally a whole log cabin IN this building! The architecture alone is worth stopping to take a look at. Exhibits showcase local history about the memorable ranchers and cowboys of the area, the Williams Lake Stampede, its indigenous people, local businesses over the years and even some of its celebrities (who knew “Elvis” came from Williams Lake?? (; ) There is no fee... but donations are welcome and encouraged. Great gift shop with many unique gifts as well. A wonderful way to learn about the area. I highly recommend!

We walk the path around the pond and arena every day for exercise. 1 particular day, we stopped in to the visitor centre for a peak. We met 2 of the most wonderful ladies. They were so knowledgeable and helpful. They provided us with a folder and completely filled it with maps and lists of festivals as well as business cards of local contractors and businesses. We shopped as well and bought our son some very cool wooden travel games. We also bought healthy snacks and maple syrup and jewelry for our daughters. This place is definitely the coolest little place offering unique gifts and treats.

Barkerville Brewing Co

Our brewery lounge and tasting room is Quesnel's favourite meeting place. We are fully licensed and serve locally-sourced artisanal pizza and other delicious snacks to go with a rotating assortment of our brews (12 taps). We also serve wine and cider, and non-alcoholic options such as root beer, ginger ale, and cola. Settle in at our custom-built TIMBER KINGS table, or enjoy the fresh air on our patio - accompanied CHILDREN are always welcome.

Stopped in for a couple pints and some growler fills. Also had one of the grilled cheese off the menu, very tasty. Unique space, especially the huge wood slab table built by the Timber Kings.
