the huble homestead historic site

The Huble Homestead is a historic site located 40 kilometres north of Prince George, in the Giscome Portage Regional Park. The site is operated by the Huble Homestead / Giscome Portage Heritage Society. The Society’s mission is to educate the public about the region’s pioneer roots by interpreting the history of the Huble family and the Giscome Portage to locals and tourists alike.

Nestled alongside the Fraser River, the picturesque Huble Homestead is the perfect place to bring the family for a picnic. Visitors can choose to explore the historic buildings and the costumed staff offer guided tours of the entire site, which includes the original house built in 1912 that the Huble family lived in. No visit is complete without a stop at the Seebach and Huble General Store. The store offers a wide variety of local consignment goods as well as old-fashioned candy. Visitors can also take advantage of a full BBQ menu any day of the week and try a slice of delicious homemade pie for dessert.

For added fun, Huble Homestead reaches out to the community by hosting numerous events throughout the season. Most special event days include old-fashioned activities, entertainment, crafts and games, pioneer demonstrations, blacksmithing and contests. Nothing says summer like an old fashioned celebration on the homestead.

During the winter, Huble Homestead continues its community out-reach and public education by providing free in-class history presentations to local schools. A costumed staff member brings the pioneer experience to you.

The historic site is open daily from Victoria Day to Labour Day from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and on weekends until Thanksgiving. The site is dog friendly and admission is by donation. Start planning your trip today!

There you will find swans, eagles, otters, beaver & beaver dams, underground springs bubbling up, brilliant lime green grass flowing in the clear, quiet water. There you will find peace.
