About Us

Huble Homestead Historic Site is located on Lheidli T'enneh keyoh; the house and buildings are situated in the Giscome Portage Regional Park, and the site is operated by the Huble Homestead / Giscome Portage Heritage Society. The Society’s mission is to preserve and promote the history of the Huble Homestead, Giscome Portage, and surrounding area through responsible stewardship and educational programming. During the summer months the historic site is open daily for guided tours, school and daycare programs, and self led activities. The Society also hosts a number of special events during the operating season.

The Huble Homestead / Giscome Portage Heritage Society was created in 1984 to preserve the Huble House on its original site. As a result the Giscome Portage Regional Park was established in 1986 and the Huble house was declared a designated heritage building by the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George.

After countless hours of work by dedicated volunteers, the site was officially opened as a living heritage site in 1989.

Since that time the Society has successfully restored and reconstructed several heritage buildings significant to the area. The Society has realized many successes over the years. These include:

the restoration of the homestead and trading post you see today
the transcription and publication of the Huble Diaries
the salvage and eventual reconstruction of the Salmon Valley Post Office building as an interpretive centre
the attainment of Provincial Heritage Trail designation for the Giscome Portage
the creation of a replica Lheidli T'enneh Fish Camp in partnership with the Lheidli T’enneh Band
the purchase and installation of a headstone on Edward Seebach's grave
the development and opening of the Seebach exhibit (the Seebach cabin)
the publication of the Huble Homestead Children's Book Series
the expansion of the In-Class Living History program to include Lheidli T'enneh presentations
