Revelstoke Area Attractions Include 3 Valley Gap Heritage Ghost Town
If you’re plans have you driving on the Trans-Canada Highway #1 in Southeastern British Columbia in either direction, then you simply must make a point of stopping at one of the major …
Revelstoke Area Attractions
It’s known as; 3 Valley Gap Heritage Ghost Town and is located just 19 kilometers (12 miles) west, of the picturesque Town of Revelstoke, BC.
This definitely is a Must See attraction, accommodation and dining destination to visit in this region.
Surrounded by two beautiful National Parks , Revelstoke is a year round outdoor adventure region, with some of the most beautiful scenery, you will come upon in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.
This includes the area surrounding 3 Valley Gap!
Step Back In Time At 3 Valley Gap Heritage Site
The Three Valley Gap Ghost Town is a unique attraction, and located on the same property as the; Three Valley Lake Chateau. This entire complex was built and still owned and operated by the {Bell family}, for well over 50 years now.
Their Ghost Town takes you on a journey back to the British Columbia pioneer days of the 1800’s.
Over the years, the Bell family have moved and restored over 25 historic buildings onto their property, and have put together an amazing; historic town.
Set against a beautiful mountain back drop with a gentle natural stream running through, makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time!
Some of the buildings include;
The Hotel Bellevue;
St. Stephen’s Church;
Craigellachie Original School House;
Blacksmith Shop;
Golden Wheel Saloon;
Jail & Sheriff’s Office;
and much more!
The 3 Valley Gap Railway Roundhouses
There’s also a huge 100,000 square foot Railway Roundhouse, housing a variety of railway displays including; historic rail cars, a 1922 Locomotive and much more.
In fact, this Roundhouse now holds the distinction of being; the biggest operational covered turntable in North America.
Also in this colossal building, you will find the repair shops and a museum like {Pattern Shop}, as well as other various displays from life as it was, years ago.
On top of all these beautiful displays, there’s even an {Antique Auto Museum} included. Auto buffs will find some beautiful vintage automobiles, dating as far back as 1902.
There really is something for everybody to enjoy at this Heritage Ghost Town. Give yourself at least 1 hour at minimum, to take in the entire complex and believe me, you will want to see absolutely everything!
Just outside the museum, I discovered an; Old Vintage Brill BC Transit Trolley Bus. Believe it or not, I used to drive these buses many years ago, in the City of Vancouver.
Boy, did that bring back memories of the past for me!
Dining At 3 Valley Gap Heritage Site
The property has a wonderful casual dining room, with a beautiful view overlooking …
Three Valley Lake.
Named the {Monashee Dining Room}, they offer a full menu that is sure to satisfy most everyone, including a children’s menu. There’s a choice of excellent; sandwiches, wraps, salads, burgers and much more on the lunch menu to choose from.
My wife and I enjoyed a relaxing lunch shortly after arriving, and just prior to the start of our tour of the Ghost Town.
Below, is just a sneak peek of what we enjoyed for lunch a few seasons back, and what you can expect when dining at the Monashee.
Pulled Pork Sandwich
Served on a Sweet Bun with BBQ Sauce and topped with 2 onion rings. I chose the fresh garden salad as a side. A very tasty sandwich and the onion rings inside the sandwich was a perfect match!
Reuben Sandwich
An authentic toasted Reuben topped with dill and a cup of fresh chicken noodle soup as a side choice. This was another great and popular selection making for the perfect lunch.
Mixed Fruit Pie with Ice Cream
We decided to share a piece of their fresh fruit home baked pie topped with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious and with a cup of fresh coffee!
If you prefer a quicker snack, there’s a nice cafeteria located just alongside the gift shop as well.
