Cottonwood House

028

  Cottonwood House, built in 1865, is one of the oldest buildings in British Columbia. It was a roadhouse along the stagecoach route to the goldfields in Barkerville . The house is opened for guided tours where you’ll learn the interesting history of the Boyd family who owned the property for almost 100 years.

  Most of the property is accessible. The path from the parking lot is composed of small gravel – a bit loose so pushing is a little hard. The old road is hard packed sandy dirt. Most of the buildings have ramps but some have a lip at the doorway. The first floor of the roadhouse is all accessible except for two rooms where there is a step down.  There are four different loop trails around the property that are marked as accessible but the gravel is a bit loose.  Cottonwood House

  The parking lot is large enough for any RV.
