place was built. Excellent!”

 Our history begins with the story behind
our old saloon bar, which came from
Butte, Montana. It originally stood in the
St. Francis Saloon from 1890-1971, and
is said to have been witness to many a
quarrelsome card game, dancing cancan
girls, and perhaps even a few gun fights
in its day! The bar is constructed of solid
oak and mahogany with handcarved
accents, and still bears the original
marks and woodstain.  In the 1970s, Whippletree Junction’s founder Randy
Streit stumbled upon the bar, still standing proudly in
the St. Francis Saloon in the deserted old copper
mining town. He dismantled the bar and brought it
home to Canada with him. In order to house his new
acquisition, he sold a plot of land to Paul Watson with
a promissory note requesting the buyer to build a
structure specifically designed to accomodate the bar.
Thus, the plans for Pioneer House came to life. A
handsome piece of construction in its own right, the
log-style building only serves to compliment the bar
perfectly. The Pioneer House Restaurant’s
current owners Shelagh John & son
Gerald have been proudly sharing their
valuable treasure with you and your
family since 1977. In keeping with our
location at the famous Whippletree
Junction just south of Duncan, BC, our
old-time atmostphere offers you a warm
and unique dining experience complete
with our menu of delicious housemade
recipes that are sure to tempt your
appetite and satisfy your hunger. |
