Lillooet Historic & Heritage Sites

Lillooet Museum

The Lillooet Museum is largely dedicated to preserving the town's Gold Rush heritage and First Nations history. However, there are also other parts of Lillooet's past featured here – don't miss the downstairs display of Ma Murray's old printing presses.

Canadian National Railway Station

The Canadian National Rail Station formerly housed the Pacific Great Eastern (PGE) railway, which reached Lillooet in 1915 and continued on to the heart of British Columbia. The PGE line's reputation wasn't the best in the beginning. Riders and locals frequently joked that "PGE" stood for "Past God's Endurance," "Please Go Easy," and "Prince George Eventually."

Old Bridge

Lillooet's Golden Mile of History ends at the Old Bridge, a suspension bridge built of steel cables and wood in 1913. The Old Bridge was constructed to replace a reaction ferry (a type of cable ferry that was powered by the river current) that had been in use since 1860.

Stop by the Lillooet Visitor Centre for more information about Lillooet's Golden Mile of History walking tour.
