What is there to see in Wells near Quesnel?

Five minutes before you arrive at Barkerville, make a pit stop (or find a pretty campsite) in Wells. While Barkerville is a time capsule, Wells is a living town, with its brightly painted historic buildings, small-but-lively artistic community, cute cafes and diners, and rows of little shops and galleries. The Wells Museum dives into the area’s second gold rush in the 1930s, when droves of men looking for work came to Wells, changing the area forever.
