English: Barkerville National Historic Site of Canada is located on Williams Creek in eastern British Columbia. The historic town was founded in 1862 after the discovery of significant gold deposits in the Cariboo gold fields, but was destroyed by fire in 1868. The restoration and rebuilding of the town in the late-1950s was initiated with the intension of returning Barkerville to its 1869-1885 state. The townsite, surrounded by huge pits and ditches from 19th century gold mining, marks the northern terminus of the Cariboo Wagon Road, and contains within its boundaries the Chee Kung Tong Building National Historic Site of Canada. Official recognition refers to the boundary of the Barkerville Historic Town at the time of designation.

Français : Le lieu historique national du Canada de Barkerville est situé près du ruisseau Williams, dans l’est de la Colombie Britannique. La ville historique est fondée en 1862 à la suite de la découverte d’importants gisements d’or dans les champs aurifères de Cariboo, mais est ravagée par un incendie en 1868. Vers la fin des années 1950, on entreprend de reconstruire la ville et de remettre les bâtiments en état pour que l’endroit retrouve son apparence des années 1869 à 1885. Le lotissement urbain, entouré d’immenses fossés creusés par les chercheurs d’or du XIXe siècle, représente le terminus du chemin d’accès à la région de Cariboo, aussi connu sous le nom de « Route Cariboo », et comprend le lieu historique national du Canada de l’Édifice Chee Kung Tong. La reconnaissance officielle du lieu fait référence aux limites de la ville historique de Barkerville au moment de la désignation.
