This saloon is a replica of a saloon that was in French Creek, a short-lived boom town north of Revelstoke.

Today the Half-Way House is used as a dining room for groups having dinner in the Ghost Town.

The house provided an overnight stop for travelers along this route.

The building’s name came from its location – half-way between Revelstoke and French Creek – a common route for gold seekers during the 1860s.

Built in 1862, the Half-Way House is the oldest building in 3 Valley Gap.

The Bells purchased the barn in the early 1960s and used it for their own farm animals including donkeys, chickens, pigs and geese.

Originally it provided shelter for farm animals on one side and the family lived in the other.

This barn was built in Malakwa, BC by Finnish immigrants.

The lights and fixtures are originals from the second store.

In 1904 the original store was torn down by Mr.

Hume General Store built in Revelstoke in 1892.

This store is a replica of the original C.B.

A new building was required by the church’s congregation in 1962 so the Bells bought the church, tore it down, and rebuilt it in the Ghost Town.

Thomas Murray and the Presbyterian congregation tore the church down piece by piece and moved it to Field, BC.

This church was originally built in 1886 in Donald – approximately 90 miles, 145 km East of 3 Valley.

The others are replicas of buildings that were in the area. One-half of the buildings are original, historic buildings that were torn down and moved here from anywhere up to 150 miles (240 km) away.
