Ranch
Tours
We do not provide formal tours,
however, visitors are welcome to walk around the ranch and see
our buildings for themselves. Almost all the buildings
that the ranch now occupies date from between 1876 and 1913,
when the town of Nicola was the most important settlement in
the area. The heritage buildings, artifacts and other historic
exhibits are an additional feature of the Nicola experience.
Historic
Buildings
Nicola Ranch has renovated the
heritage buildings that were once part of the Town of
Nicola, such as the office shown here, and they remain in daily use.
The oldest of the
town's structures, the Murray Church, built in 1876, the
Blacksmith's Shop, the harness shed and the Red Barn
still survive. |

Murray
Church
Perhaps the most photographed of
British Columbia's historic churches, this was
originally the Presbyterian church, completed in 1876.
It is now under the joint care of the United Church, and
Nicola Ranch. |

Blacksmith's Shop
Built
about 1890, the walls bear countless brands that were
made and used in the Nicola Valley. The ranch's
collection of antique tools, farm equipment and other
fascinating artifacts of agricultural interest can be
seen here. |

Red
Barn
Five teams of draught horses called
the Red Barn home back in 1904 and is a classic example of
a ranch barn. |

Gift
Shop
Nicola Ranch Country Gifts carries a
wide variety of gift items, local crafts, jewelry and
books. High quality gloves made from our own Fallow Deer
hides are an exclusive specialty. |
