Take a peek into the secrets behind the historic walls of one of Coldstream’s oldest homes.
The Mackie House, situated on Kalamalka Lake, is a long-standing home with a rich history.
Author Ken Mather has revealed the secrets of the house with his latest book, Coldstream Lake House: A Storied Landmark of the Okanagan.
Now a registered heritage site in Coldstream, the home and its grand yard and gardens plays host to events such as teas, live music and more.
But the story of this home is rich, and one Mather tells of in his book where he discusses the origins of the home and shares stories of the three families who inhabitated it for nearly 100 years.
Mather will be at the Schubert Centre for a talk and book signing on Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. This event is free and all are welcome.
Mather is the author of several books on local history and on BC Ranching, including Buckaroos and Mud Pups, Bronc Busters and Hay Sloops, and Frontier Cowboys and the Great Divide.
