Bourlamaque Mining Village

Historic log-house mining village beside the old Lamaque Mine, still visibly lived in.

Bourlamaque Mining Village preserves the workers' settlement built beside the Lamaque Mine. Its rows of log houses are still inhabited, which gives the place a more interesting texture than a reconstructed heritage village.

The village was recognized as part of the Former Lamaque Mine and Bourlamaque Mining Village National Historic Site. Walk it with the mine story in mind: this is where the labour, families, and routines of the gold rush became a town.
