Giddy Up - Princeton, British Columbia - Silhouette Public Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Giddy Up, is a black silhouette of three children riding their horses free as the wind. Trying to keep up is their trusted friend, "Dog".

This silhouette is nicely done, the artist in unknown. It most likely has been there for some time, as the black paint is now faded and is weathered showing water streaks.

Located in a nice green space that is along the Crowsnest Highway about midway through town if entering from the south.



Princeton, British Columbia

Princeton is located on the scenic highway corridor that links Hope, B.C. through Manning Park and to the southern gateway of the South Okanagan. Originally named Vermilion Forks, after the two rivers, Tulameen and Similkameen, and an unusual rock formation west of town. Princeton has a fascinating history starting with the gold rush in 1885 where gold nuggets were discovered in Granite Creek, now one of six ghost towns around Princeton. The last spike of the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) was driven in east Princeton.

Princeton celebrated its 160th birthday in 2020 and also officially became the ’Bronze Statue Capital of Canada’ with currently 15 bronze sculptures highlighting the diverse wildlife Princeton has to offer. Princeton has approximately 2,830 residents and is surrounded by farms, forests and a rich history in mining. Want to try your hand at gold panning? Stop by the Visitor Centre and you can borrow a gold pan.
