Terrace, BC attractions : George Little House
British Columbia, Canada

George Little Heritage House is a multi-personality building located in the hub of Terrace, B.C. at the bottom of Kalum Hill. The historical home acts - not only as an historical tour exploring the past of the community of Terrace - but also as a railway station, a mini museum with historical artifacts, a carving shed and an information centre for downtown tourists.

Arriving in the community by snowshoe from Kitimat, BC, George Little was the first European to locate to Terrace and call it home in March of 1905. George Little built the home in 1914 as his main residence.

After George past away, the home lingered for years, moving around from Lakelse Ave to Hall Street and then to its final resting spot by the railway tracks on Kalum Street.

Many moves and harsh weather took a toll on the home as it was soon showing signs of decay and deterioration. The Terrace community came together to save the home and restore it as a heritage site. The attraction is open to the public 7 days a week.

Below the George Little House is a carving shed which houses some of the most talented First Nation artists in the area. Onsite are many examples of First Nation art in the making and it is a great opportunity to observe the different stages of carving from conception to finish. The available times to view the carvers does vary as the shed operates on a need basis.

How to get to the Heritage Park Museum: From Hwy 16, near Skeena Mall in Terrace British Columbia, turn onto Lakelse Ave and continuing driving behind the mall until you take a right onto Kalum Street. at the end of kalum is the George little House eh!
