Fernie and District Historical Society in Fernie, BC


The Fernie District Historical Society in Fernie, British Columbia, Canada is a museum that offers a look into the past of this region.  It was first founded in 1964 and has the task of preserving the history of the city and of the local region for years to come.  This was done by displaying a variety of photographs, artifacts, documents and much more from the time period.  Each piece offers a piece of information about the development of this location.  Although the historical society did not have a physical location for the first 15 years, it was able to use the vacant rectory behind the church for the museum itself. 

The museum itself opened in August of 1979 and served as an ideal location for the next 20 years.  The church needed to take back this property that was loaned to the museum to use as their needs required, and since then, the historical society has been homeless again.  Those that wish to see what is available in storage of this history can do so through any of the exhibits that are displayed upon request.  More so, various local businesses often provide space for these displays, as do public places throughout the city.  Many times, the exhibits are located in locations where they are most fitting, such as the exhibit titled, "Trial by Fire" is located within the Fernie Heritage Library which is a building that was nearly lost in a 1908 fire. 

Visitors wishing to experience specific exhibits can contact the historical society to find out how they can do just that.
