★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This museum packs a lot of punch in a small footprint. Entrance fee is by donation. The history exhibit includes a kid's cave (with stuffies), a small model train display, and several original artifacts related to the area (eg. The two shovels from Shovel Pass on the Skyline Trail). The artifacts are very well maintained. If your group includes kids, Rob will offer them a chance to participate in a mini Scavenger Hunt.
To the left of the history loop is a rotating exhibit room (currently hosting contemporary art), and to the right is the local book sale room.
The gift shop has REAL LOCAL ART made by people in the area. They sell original wood carvings, blankets made by the local quilting guild, jewelry, and photography. You may also buy replicas of the original Jasper Park Pass. The gift shop carries an extensive selection of books focused on history, hiking in the area and Indigenous literature.
The shop accepts cash and debit, but would prefer not to use credit due to high processing fees.
Outside the museum is a small garden exhibit showcasing different geological formations from the area's history.
In total, our group of four adults spent about half an hour wandering around. Your group might only take five minutes, depending on your cumulative level of interest.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spent part of the evening there due to the heat wave a few weeks back. Lots of information of the history of Jasper and the lady that was working there at the time was so nice and friendly! She had so much passion and you could tell she loved working at the museum!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loads of info on the history of Jasper and surrounding area. The information, artefacts and photos really brought the indigenous people, pioneers, railroad construction workers, geologists and so on to life. Also an amazing book store there.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I usually visit the museum wherever I end up and am never disappointed. This was no exception. Great photos, lots of interesting artifacts and I even learned about the attempt to make a submarine out of glacier ice... Who knew? Proprietors very friendly and gave lots of advice on places to go while in Jasper.
