Cariboo Treasures: Perspectives on a Cariboo Civilization

Cariboo Treasures: Perspectives on a Cariboo Civilization

Quesnel and District Museum and Archives 2004

As a community, Quesnel, British Columbia, has developed into a prosperous and exciting place, both to live and to visit. This municipality has left behind an indescribable amount of history that intrigues the populace and defines the Cariboo as a place and a way of life. Each solitary block within the city carries with it unique tales of the “golden” days.

This tour involves four main streets in downtown Quesnel: Carson Avenue, Front Street, Barlow Avenue, and Reid Street. As well, to give you an in-depth look into the life of the Cariboo society, we take you inside a household of a pioneer family that lived on Reid Street.
