Spring on the Homestead

Monday, May 19 - 10:30am to 4:00pm

Help us open the homestead and welcome spring at the first event of our regular season!

Nestled in the heart of nature, Huble Homestead offers a glimpse into the past, allowing visitors to see how early settlers would have experienced spring. Learn more about site's history through our new exhibit, Between Homestead and Historic Site, take part in heritage demonstrations, and participate in old-fashioned games and the May pole dance!

Explore the historic site by taking a leisurely stroll around the grounds or opt for a guided tour with our staff at 11:00 and 3:00. Relax in the fresh outdoor air with a picnic or purchase food from the BBQ, then learn about our plans for the heritage garden. Bring your artistic talents and creative flair to the scarecrow making competition and build the winning guardian for our summer crop!

Learn more about cheesemaking with local expert Tracey Johnson of Cheeseneeds.com as she makes cheese in great outdoors, chat with Dave Godber from SilverTree Woodworking about the treadle pole lathe, watch Dawson at work in the blacksmith shop, or whip up a batch of butter or ice cream with our staff!

End your visit by treating yourself to candy or a slice of pie in the General Store, check out all our new goodies for sale this season, and take 10% off dishtowels and kitchenwares.

EXHIBIT LAUNCH

Between Homestead and Historic Site

Learn about the history of the site after the Huble family sold

the property, but before it became a historic site!

Schedule is subject to change.

Huble Homestead Historic Site is a 30 minute drive north of Prince George, BC. Leave the city behind and make your way up Highway 97 for 40 kilometres, before turning off on Mitchell Road to continue another 6 kilometres down a well-maintained dirt road.

Huble Homestead is dog friendly and open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm for guided tours and shopping in the General Store. Enjoy a picnic or purchase lunch from the BBQ as you relax in the fresh air. Admission is by donation, with a recommended amount of $10.00 per family. We're closer than you think!
