Jumbo’s cabin is all that is left standing from Cumberland’s once-bustling Chinatown. Learn the fascinating history of the Chinese people who came to work in the Dunsmuir coal mines and left a lasting legacy.
In creating a connection with the current exhibition, A Seat At The Table: Chinese Immigration and British Columbia, tour guide Dawn Copeman will be infusing this year's tour with knowledge and special stories of food.
