    30-45 minutes from the Osoyoos! If you love mining history, this is a must see attraction. It's like stepping back in time. The museum is located in an old decommissioned school house (which is a beautiful relic). Best part is, some of the staff working in the museum actually attended school and are full of local history. Pack a lunch (with wine) and drive on down to Molson.

    Very interesting museum. The 2 room's in the school were preserved from the last classes held in 1968-69.

    Fun tourist stop but wish they offered more history about the town itself. Entry fee by donation.

    It is a great little museum. Lots of items from the turn of the century to the 1960s. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.

    We really enjoyed these museums! The old schoolhouse was full of interesting items from old homesteads, as well as full set-ups of classrooms, a library, etc. Grandma enjoyed seeing all of the things she remembered from her school days, and the kids would have spent all day there if they could have. The ghost town was also fun to walk around. Our 8 year old got bored at that one, but our 11 year old was enthralled. The museum is free, but there's a donation jar on the main floor. Definitely worth a visit if you're anywhere nearby!

    Really interesting Time Capsule. My husband and I came all the way from Seattle to see Molson and the school museum. It did not disappoint! I recommend walking a couple blocks down the road to see the historical site too.

    The building is beautiful and very well taken care of. The variety of artifacts and how well they are taken care of shows that the museum takes very good care of everything on site. This is a must see local history museum, and really shows slices of the lives lived in town and in the school. If you are a fan of farming and small town history, add this one to your list!

    We loved this museum. It’s a school which was active from 1914 to 1969 and then turned into museum. It’s an old school with very interesting facts and history to know about. We were nostalgic with the classroom setups as it just reminded of our childhood days of school. They also had a library section, one science lab and lots of antique pieces. Downstairs used to be the gym which is being turned into history museum. It’s been very well taken care. This museum is free but there is a donation jar on the main floor. Me and my husband visited this place from Seattle and Molson didn’t disappoint us at all. We also checked the Ghost town.
