Lunch from 1-5. Museum admission $2.00
3pm Ice Cream Making Demonstration

Located near the junction of the Harrison and Fraser Rivers, the Kilby Historic Site stands as the only reminder of the once thriving community of Harrison Mills. Step back in time to the 1920s with costumed interpreters, as you explore the magnificent 100 year old General Store museum, Manchester House Hotel and Post Office. The 5 acre BC Heritage site includes visiting our working farm filled with friendly animals that include a heritage tom turkey who takes a keen interest in all visitors and who conversationally gobbles to the farm guests.  We also have contented pigs who happily root around in their traditional pigsty.  Pet our super soft Angora goat, Ivy with her kid, Harold, and see our Jacobs sheep and Merino sheep.  We have lovely bunnies in and around their hutches as well.  Rest in our shady orchard, and stop by our unique country gift shop and our quaint home-style restaurant.  You can stay and camp at the 22-site campground on the scenic Harrison Bay.

On Saturday, August 25th from 9 am to 1 pm the Kilby Historic Site will be hosting a Power Breakfast Buffet featuring all locally produced food, prepared and baked fresh on site, the “slow food” way! The buffet includes fruit salad, fresh baked breads, locally made cheeses & yogurt and organic oatmeal topped with your choice of cranberries, hazelnuts, flax and sunflower seeds. The buffet includes a variety of home-made muffins and breakfast pastries baked up especially of the event. Locally produced Buffalo sausage will also be featured. Tea or “Back Porch” coffee is also included… and at $9.50 per person it will be a great way to start your day!

The restaurant will be offering our regular sandwich and lunch menu from 1 pm until 5 pm. Museum admission is only $2 today, with your Slow Food Bike Tour map. At 3 pm there will be an old fashioned ice cream making demonstration. Experience first-hand ice cream making… the old-fashioned way!  This fun and interactive demonstration allows visitors to learn and participate in the traditional method of making ice cream. The reward for their hard work is a sample of the real ice cream they themselves have made.

Kilby Historic Site is located at 215 Kilby Road in Harrison Mills; just thirty minutes east of Mission and west of Harrison Hot Springs on scenic Highway #7. For more information visit our website at http://www.kilby.ca or call us at 604-796-9576.
