A lovely museum. Well worth a visit.

Beautifully organized with engaging info. Spent a good hour and a half caught up in indigenous and colonial history, and walked away with what feels like an accurate depiction of Revelstoke's past.

This is a fantastic little museum. They have a great bookstore, and the displays cover a nice history of the Revelstoke area. There's a great spot with toys for kids to play on the second floor. Definitely worth a couple hours to discover the history of the area.

Some sad stories of avalanche victims. In 1910 a disaster claimed the life of a Scotsman at only 48 years of age, he was also the oldest of the 54 fatalities. The staff are very nice. They explained more detailed information on the history of Revelstoke.

I love museums!! The history of our country needs to be celebrated and past down to future generations. Learn about the history of skiing, the railroad & much more. Admission is $4 & is well worth it

Don Heinrichs

An absolute gem! I spent the afternoon absorbing all the rich history contained within this small space. The work that has gone into preserving a history that at times seems to have been at risk of slipping through the cracks of time is truly impressive. Cathy English, the museum curator, is to be commended for her work. As a ski bum, I love ski history, and this was a key component of the museum. The gift shop has a ton of awesome stuff; I ended up dropping a bunch of cash on cool items that will always remind me of my trip here, and this very special place.

Great history lesson on revelstoke and BC. Clean and well organized woth easy to follow progression. I liked that it was history on everything with cool well labeled artifacts. Multiple floors where the upstairs had a drawing area to occupy kids. I wish they had replica vintage BC plates for sale. Those were awesome ????

Bud Rozander

A surprisingly impressive, historic collection of local artifacts -well layed out and artistically displayed. Even the building dates back more than a hundred years. The adjacent green space, was a delightful suprise - a beautifully tended garden to sit and pen this review. I wonder if the locals, realize what a civic treasure they secret in their midsts.

Angela Christanson

Great little museum to learn about the history of the area.

Alex Urquhart

A great place to learn the local history and see how folks lived. Railway history and the construction of the dam and the loss of whole communities from the flooding of the valley. Interesting skiing history as well .
