Fort Langley makes
‘for a fun family trip

From page ¢33.

make a list of questions you want to
ask.

You'll probably want to take the
car if you choose Gibsons, as the
-ferry dock is out of town. °

. Ride the chairlift up Grouse
‘Mountain for lunch. The phone
number for general information is
- 984-0661. During the summer

"months the chairlift is included in

‘the price of lunch but call and con-
fem.

i Fort Langley: Take Highway No."
1, exit signs are well marked. The .

' -y.fort-is‘open daily but- during ‘the

‘winter months, various buildings
“may be closed due to lack of volun-
“-teer staff. ;

Twas advised that during the
winter months it’s best te visit ‘on

“school days (obviously impossible
‘as a kid’s outing) because 'the fort
hosts school bus tours and at that

‘time is fully staffed.

.. The fort is mostly a reconstruc-. ”

, tion on the original site asthe. =~:
= Hudson’s Bay Company lost their
‘licence in 1858 when the Colony of.
British Columbia was created.

The buildings deteriorated after
that: The only original structure is
the storehouse, built in 1840. In

fact, although this building is old,

it’s not truly original either. The
entire fort burned down in 1840 '
and before that, Fort Langley was
two miles away at Derby Reach,
built in 1827.

That first fort was abandoned
and everything moved to the pre- °
sent location in 1839.

I enjoyed a diary entry made by
Lieut. Charles Wilson, of the Royal
En; gineers, who arrived at Fort
Langley i in 1858. “The fort is a mis-
erable place, built out of pine wood
hewed out with axes.”

There’s a picnic grounds with

"+ tables adjacent to the parking lot. '
. Alternately, you can stop for lunch |

in the town and browse through
various shops and galleries.
A good time to visit is “Brigade

’ Days” held for three days over the

August long weekend.

The staff wear costumes and
various activities are planned to
regain the flavor of our pioneer
history. Call ahead for specifics
