Glimpse into Lillooet’s past in the Lillooet Museum, itself housed housed in the former Anglican Church, St Mary’s the Virgin. The church was first built in 1860, from timber carried piece by piece on the backs of miners and mules over the rugged Harrison-Lillooet trail, then reconstructed in 1961 with the original chancel.
Browse through the collection of artifacts, including the original church service bell and melodeon, gold mining relics, Indigenous artifacts, machinery, memories of Lillooet’s pioneer days, the largest mounted Rocky Mountain Elk head ever registered in BC, and more. Take a peek downstairs to discover the old newspaper office of fiery and famed editor Margaret “Ma” Murray.
The Museum is situated in downtown Lillooet at St. Mary the Virgin, a former Anglican church. The original St. Mary’s, which was torn down in 1960, stood on the same spot and arrived on the backs of miners and their mules, who carried the timber, piece by piece over the rugged Harrison-Lillooet trail in 1860. The original chancel was incorporated in the new St. Mary’s and the melodeon and bell from the old church are displayed in the museum.
