Five kms up a gravel road beyond the Snaring River Campground is the old Moberly Homestead. This was part of a Metis settlement established in the 1880's. There isn't much left of most of it but the parks people have put some interpretive signs along the path to describe what life was like back in those days.
The old cabin in the background and the new in front. The new cabin was constructed in about 1903 to house Mr. Moberly, his wife and his ten children.
Peeking through the cracks into the new house. There was a sleeping loft above.
Nicely constructed corners
The old cabin
Panoramic view of the interior of the old cabin makes it look much larger than it actually was
