  • Visit historic streets and alleyways and hear stories of Smallpox and the Great Fire in Vancouver
  • Step inside a world of murder, revenge, and true grit in a dramatic history of Victorian Gastown

Venture into Vancouver's earliest and most gruesome history on the Lost Souls of Gastown Tour. You'll discover a time when Vancouver was the Granville Townsite – the wild frontier town that suffered a devastating fire, smallpox outbreaks, and unsolved murders.

Designed for adult audiences, the Lost Souls of Gastown Tour is both a walking tour and a theatre piece. Created by Forbidden Vancouver's Chief Storyteller Will Woods – and based on documented Vancouver history – the plot weaves through back streets and alleyways to a dramatic finale in the heart of Gastown's Maple Tree Square.
