Historic Hat Creek Ranch is a Province of BC owned Heritage Property and a Government of Canada National Historic Site, located on the unceded territory of the Secwépemc (Shuswap) Peoples and managed by The Friends of Historic Hat Creek Ranch Society, a not-for-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
The purpose of the Society is to:
Preserve, operate, and maintain Historic Hat Creek Ranch.
Provide educational and interpretive programs that focus on the history of the ranch and the indigenous peoples of the area for the general public, including school groups.
The buildings stand as they did in 1901; some were built as early as 1860. Between1885 and 1905 they witnesses the busiest era of transportation along the Road, serving the needs of freight wagons and passengers of the B.C. Express line (The “BX”).
We invite you to explore this era, through the exhibits and special interpretive activities presented by our staff. Open from May 1st to September 30th.
