Cottonwood House Historic Site

Cottonwood House Historic Site located east of Quesnel, British Columbia, CANADA on the Gold Rush Trail to Barkerville Historic Town, offers heritage interpretation, accommodation and food to those wanting to explore and experience the Cariboo and its rich history.

Cottonwood House is one of the last remaining roadhouses in British Columbia. It was built in the 1860’s to offer accommodation, meals and provisions to miners and travellers on their journey along the Cariboo ‘Waggon’ Road to Barkerville or Quesnel.
