The Merritt Information Centre is located on the grounds of Baille House. My sister and I were geocaching in the area and one we were searching for took us to this historic site. The Nicola Valley Heritage Society welcomes visitors to Baille House during the months of May to September. Before touring the grounds, we asked the volunteer about geocaching and where we could find the necessary document to record our finds. She was very helpful about geotourism in the area and provided us with two volumes containing great information about geotourism adventures in Gold Country. She indicated that a third volume is being published and would be available in the near future. The grounds are well maintained and is dotted with large shade trees, colorful flowers, tables, chairs with an old-fashioned buggy sitting in one corner of the yard. After touring the house, barn, store and storage garage, we continued on our geotourism adventure.

As part of our geotourism adventure, we visited the Nicola Valley Museum and Archives in Merritt, British Columbia. Although the Museum was closed due to covid, we searched for and found a nearby geocache called "Jesus Garcia". We learned that he helped form the transportation system that made the gold rush possible in this area. Before leaving the area, we admired the colorful murals on the outside wall of the Museum and Archives building.

To be totally honest, we are not country music fans. No knowledge, no interest. After years of staying on the highway and bypassing Merritt we thought we would do a little exploring. We visited the info centre and picked up a map detailing the murals and stars. Not being familiar with the artists, we chose a couple of the big name crossover entertainers. The murals were very well done and the stars with the singers handprint and signature mounted on wooden stands were a terrific idea.
