Description
A short history of Hope hangs of the wall of a stone washroom building in Hope's Memorial Park. The wall hanging begins with the journey of Simon Fraser down the river that bears his name, mentions Henry Peers, who built the first Fort Hope, describes the Gold Rush, and the roles of James Douglas and the Royal Engineers, and adds a description of the first Hope townsite and the steamboats on the Fraser River. A fascinating account. May,2023.
