We saw this mentioned in The Milepost and stopped to visit. This is an incredible museum. It is well kept, very thorough, and is really a lot larger than you think it is. It was not very expensive. The staff was so welcoming. Right next to the museum is the huge gold mining pan. You have to stop for a picture.

This is a treasure not to miss.

Do NOT be fooled by the modest exterior....WHEN you stop to see the huge miners pan with a mural painted on it, DO stop and go inside.
Displays of local animal life that are world class and are most excellent.
A few displays on the local native craft work and art as well.
They allow over night parking for free as well.

To be honest I figured you see one small town museum you've seen them all. Boy was I wrong! This museum is very well put together with dioramas and displays. There is a movie that loops so if you have time to sit and watch it's interesting. It takes about half an hour of really looking at the exhibits or 15 minutes of less on a run through. The movie is another half hour or so. This is one museum that is well worth the stop and it's only $5 cdn per adult! Talk about a steal.
