This mine car came from Bralorne Mines , an old working was recently broken into by ongoing gold mining,and a number of them were found. A woman that lives here and with a family history in mining and in particular in the Britannia Beach area that hosts the British Columbia Mining Museum, was doing short-term work at the mine and was given one of them for her front yard.

The display invites public attention on Coldwater Avenue in Merritt.
Update the Britannia Beach Mining Museum got a multimillion dollar upgrade recently.
