Fort Langley National Historic Site Tours

Established by the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1827, this former fur-trading post is often called the birthplace of British Columbia, because Sir James Douglas declared British sovereignty over the region from here during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. Now a National Historic Site, the fort attracts history buffs and families.

Families will find a dedicated children’s play area, a wardrobe full of period garb where kids can play dress up, and farm animals (summer only). Between May and mid-October, visitors can stay overnight in tent-cabins.
