May 18, 2011: Britannia Mining Museum Tour Update
The Britannia Mining Museum is the site of a disused copper/ gold mine, which operated 1904 -1974. It has been converted to a museum, and in recent years, enormously upgraded to a first class facility. It is located on the Sea to Sky Highway, some 30 km. north of Horseshoe Bay. Our Probus Club had visited the museum in June, 2007, in conjunction with a viewing of the then ongoing major upgrade of the Sea to Sky Highway and the Railway Museum, in Squamish.
