Travel Back in Time at Three Valley Gap

Bring The Pioneer Days To Life At Three Valley Gap

Step off the highway and into the wild days of British Columbia’s pioneer past. At Three Valley Gap Heritage Ghost Town, you’ll walk through a fully reconstructed frontier settlement that brings the 1800s to life, from the Gold Rush era to the rugged days of trappers, traders, and townsfolk. You’ll also discover the Antique Auto Museum, Monashee Mining Co., the Wagon & Buggy Shop, and the Railway Roundhouse, each offering a unique glimpse into the tools, trades, and transport of early life in the West.

Heritage Ghost Town

Explore over 30 historic buildings and displays, including an authentic saloon, Trapper Joe’s rustic cabin, a tobacco shop, barbershop, and the Sheriff’s Office, complete with a jail cell for outlaws! Originally sparked by gold fever in 1862, this region’s brief but intense rush left behind colourful stories, fascinating relics, and the rich spirit of a time long gone.
