Phone250-256-7891
Built in 1861 to house the 23 Camels Frank Laumeister brought from San Francisco to serve as pack animals on the Cariboo Trail to the gold fields. The project failed, but the barn survived: briefly as a mortician's storehouse, then from 1938 as the Log Cabin Movie Theatre. It closed in 1985 and has been reopened as an historic building, a performance space and a gift shop. It contains the original theatre seating, the projectors and a 24x11 ft. wide screen.

How to Get Here

Lilloet is midway on the Vancouver, Whistler, Fraser Canyon circle route: Hwy 99N, (Sea to Sky): Hwy 97: Hwy 1.
