DO NOT COME TOURISM CHALLENGERS, if you don’t want to waste your time and gas for absolutely nothing!Came on a Friday afternoon (May 26th) for the Tourism Challenge, no operating time or sign at all, nothing says closed anywhere but EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED UP! Nothing was set up either. 2 hours drive for nothing.Don’t participate if you’re not gonna be open for your fellow tourism and hospitality workers.Ok so they’re doing a petition for management rights and the only way to find out this info is having to go to their Instagram. Would be much more helpful to have posted a sign to let people know.

My wife and I stopped by here on the way to Surrey for lunch. There was a picnic table that we used was close to the front entrance that was nice. Unfortunately the historical site was closed due to COVID because I’m sure being able to get inside would have been great What we could see looks good. We will have to come back another time when it’s open.

Unlike most museums, this one you can walk right into the display rooms in the tents, and lift up the items if you want. Nothing roped off, interesting info cards, and no one hovering over your shoulder.But the best part, worth the admission, is that you can RING THE CHURCH BELL. I've always wanted to do that.

This is a must see! It's right off Hwy #1 and definitely worth the stop to visit! There is so much to see and read about. The museum director has every reason to be proud of their efforts with this! We loved our time visiting this site, and appreciated their friendly welcome. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

This was really cool! Lots of research went into it. Loved the stories of the early settlers of the area. I wish there was more of an exhibit on the Fraser Canyon War but I suppose that's why you buy the DVD in the gift shop. The train passed by right behind us and that was neat to watch. I loved the smell of the church, it smelled like an old educational museum. Here's a funny sign from the jail.

Yale celebrates it’s history in the 1800’s as a gold rush boom town, and later as a hub for railway construction along the Fraser River. The buildings and the Church are restored and in great condition. The sites were closed (due to Covid, ai think). Yale is very quiet on.a rainy Tuesday in November.

Friendly staffs. All the historic buildings and exhibits are well maintained. Would be better if there are more merch related to this beautiful historic site.
