Shaketown
At the turn of the last century, Lynn Valley isolated, forested and at the edge of the frontier. “It really was in the mountains,” said North Vancouver Museum and Archives Curator Karen Dearlove. “Before bridges it was a fairly remote. Just to get up here traveling from Burrard Inlet was difficult. It was mostly skid roads for the mills.”
