Experience school like never before in the authetic classroom sessions, line up at the doors and hear the ringing bells.
The Wendle House is where the baking and cooking happens and you'll get to watch how household chores were done and you may even get to try and taste a treat! There's also the cemetery tour and church services and indigenous culture sessions where you'll learn the stories and the role in the gold rush era.
As Bakerbille's location is in the mountain, in the Winter there's lots of activities. Head out snowmobiling, skiing and snowboarding and try some nordic skiing. It's the perfect destination for any winter sports fans. There's also workshops in printing press, blacksmithing and more, just get in touch with them to register your interest and book onto a heritage workshop!
