Step back in time to the early 1900s and relive life at Bamberton, one of the most important industrial sites in BC’s history.
Walk down the main street of the old company village and feel Bamberton’s history come to life.
The Bamberton Historical Society invites you to visit their museum where you will see memorabilia and displays that illustrate Bamberton’s vibrant history and show how Bamberton cement changed and shaped BC’s geography as well as its economy.
You will also have an opportunity to watch a specially produced DVD called Bamberton Gone But Not Forgotten, that uses historic photos, movies, and recorded interviews with former residents and employees to tell the compelling story of a unique community that went from Dust to Bust.
Join an experienced guide on a 1 ½ hour bus tour. The tour begins at the original site manager’s house built in the 1920’s, and continues down the village street stopping at several points of interest, including a majestic view of the original quarry which extends over a 1000 feet into the mountain side.
