Visit the Antique Machinery Park
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 by GetawayBC.com
The Quesnel and District Heritage Association opened the Antique Machinery Park on Dragon Lake Road. With considerable contributions from the community the museum now offers a window into the agricultural world of days gone by.
Operated by volunteers, the Antique Machinery Park is situated on seven acres of land, 10 kilometres south of Quesnel.
Among the many displays both inside the buildings and on the grounds are collections of farming, logging, sawmilling, and mining machinery.
A demonstration of a restored antique sawmill from the 1940s is performed at intervals during the summer, and visitors are treated to the secrets of blacksmithing at the fully operational blacksmith shop.
Collections of small antique aritcles are seen within the main building, including a complete display of early B.C. licence plates.
Open from late May until mid September, you can get information by calling 250-747-4621.;
