Lillooet Museum and its collection
Source
The Lillooet Museum is conveniently located on Main Street in Lillooet, British Columbia, Canada. It is situated across from the "Mile '0'" cairn, which marks the beginning of the Old Cariboo Road. This location makes it easily accessible for tourists and provides a starting point for exploring the historical Old Cariboo Road.
Historical Building of the Lillooet Museum
The Lillooet Museum is housed in the former Anglican Church, St. Mary's the Virgin. This church was built in 1961, but it incorporates materials from the original St. Mary's Church, which was constructed in 1860. This gives the museum a unique historical charm and provides a glimpse into the architectural history of the region.
