Historical Walking Tour
The Historical Walking Tour is a circle tour on foot that offers the observer a comparison from today to when Quesnel was a much different community. Experience the "then and now" of Quesnel by visiting either the Quesnel Visitor and Conference Bureau or the Quesnel Museum to pick up a tour booklet. The self-guided tour takes about an hour to complete and brings you back to the museum. Numbers in the booklet correspond to numbers painted on the sidewalks so there is no guesswork. See and read how much Quesnel has changed in the last 150 years. It is completely fascinating!
John Barlow's gravestone. Barlow Avenue, a main street in Downtown Quesnel, is named after him.
