Best places: Museums in Regional District of Central Kootenay

👍👍 One of the top Indigenous cultural centres I’ve ever been. Up there with the Haida in Sandspit. Amazing First Nation pieces presented in a stunning space. Moving. Sad. Beautiful. Educational. It’s all there. Highly recommend visiting it.

👍👍 Take a short diversion off the highway up the smoothest dirt road you'll ever encounter and you'll find this silver mining ghost town. Interesting to hear about the hydroelectric/hydropneumatic? power station. There's a little stall selling coffee, pastries and ice cream too.

👍👍 Such a unique place to visit that lets you delve into the tragic history of WWII and the sad and upsetting treatment of the Japanese Canadians. It has a quiet serene atmosphere that allows the tragic truth to surface and keeps a reverence about the whole site. We had 3 teenagers that had all learned...

Museum housed in a 1902 building with artwork & rotating exhibits exploring local history & culture.
