Kilby Historic Site

First Nations chef, Vera Point, from Chehalis will be on site offering you breakfast. 

Kilby ‘folks’ will be serving breakfast at the Agassiz Fairgrounds starting 8 am. We will be set up right next to the registration tent for the Cycle Tour.

This is a perfect time to enjoy a cup of freshly–roasted Back Porch coffee with a variety of breakfast items. Our feature item is the breakfast–scrambler wrap made to order from local, farm–fresh, free–range eggs. Other menu items include: fresh–baked muffins, blackberry parfaits, and Triple Jim’s all natural, organic fruit juices. Through the afternoon be sure to stop back in, as we will be selling Kilby’s popular blackberry jams, jellies and syrups, local books and something to “wet your whistle”.

Abundant blackberries grow wild in the Harrison Mills countryside and are at the height of their season in August. Take the slow route home on the Scenic 7 Highway as participants in the Cycle Tour enjoy free admission to the Kilby Historic Site. Be sure to bring a pail and allow some time to pick these delicious berries found along the way.

Step back in time to the 1920s with costumed interpreters, as you explore the magnificent 1906 General Store museum, Manchester House Hotel and Post Office.  Your visit to the 3–hectare, BC Heritage Site includes a working farm filled with friendly animals like a heritage bronze turkey named Bo who conversationally gobbles to the farm guests and contented hogs that happily root in their traditional piggery.

Spend time throwing apples to our Jersey cow, Daisy, or feeding our lovely Angora goat, Hannah but watch out for the cunning craft of Brother, our Saanen goat and thief-in-training. Chi Chi, a shy, brown, Shetland Sheep is another wonderful animal.  Animal feed is also available.

Kilby Historic Site is located at 215 Kilby Road in Harrison Mills; just twenty minutes west of Agassiz on Highway #7.
