Tread the historic downtown of Yale with a costumed interpreter or on your own with a guide book

Have the landmarks of old pointed out to you and learn the importance of a Front Street to Yale's economy, reputation and image; an image that has persevered into the present, a town filled with dreams, folly, and enough recklessness to mark her as the last of America's wild west within B.C. The town walking tour guide book contains a map, images of Yale in the late 1800's and early 1900's and is for sale in the gift shop.
