Homestead Days

Sunday, August 3 & Monday, August 4 - 10:30am to 4:00pm

Step back in time to the historic site’s premier old-fashioned event!

Take a trip to the past on the BC Day long weekend for Huble Homestead’s oldest running event. This two-day extravaganza is all about celebrating life on the homestead over a hundred years ago by taking in the sights, sounds, and activities of a bygone era.

Join in for some wholesome fun by taking part in the old-fashioned games and races, put your eating skills to the test in the eating contests, and learn heritage skills through demonstrations. Make ice cream and butter with our staff both days, learn about cheesemaking from local cheese expert Tracey Johnson, chat with our summer staff as they present their heritage projects! On the holiday Monday, watch the blackpowder shooters aim and fire at targets in the back field, and definitely leave the dog at home for this one!

Bring a lunch or make a bid in the box lunch social auction, an old-fashioned tradition that continues at the homestead today - win a lunch for one, two, or four that's been prepared by our staff. The BBQ will also be running if you're outbid, or just craving a hamburger!

Learn the history of the site through guided tours, test your Huble knowledge by taking part in the treasure hunt, and play a round of tetherball or bocce in the wide open spaces!

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.

We acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.

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.
