G	Greg Poirier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very informative and enlightening. A wonderful glimpse into our pioneering past along the Historic Kettle Valley Railway. We had the wonderful pleasure to speak with the museum curator who was indeed warm and inviting relating the upcoming plans for exciting changes in the museum.
K	Katherine “Ksimera” T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful place, a true hidden gem! Very interesting exposition and friendly stuff. Short work hours, though.
B	Brandon Hunt (Licensed practical Nurse) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great curator/hostess! Tons of wildly cool historical antiques and thousands of hours of effort and hardworking over the years went into this gem. History comes alive here. Kids loved it!
N	Nina Pham on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We value these museums, and the $5 admission is worth it in order to help preserve and keep these places running. It was nice getting to check out the inside of the train as well as the former train station!
R	Rob Farrow on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stopped in for a visit but they were getting ready for their opening in May. The proprietor was kind enough to unlock everything and let us wander around. Lots of interesting artifacts and well worth stopping in for a visit.
H	Hayley McLeary on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My 7yo son really enjoyed our visit here, from ringing the bell, to checking out the tools, to getting to go aboard an old train. I loved the art display in the building with the train station. The little trees, train, and figurines were so well modeled, I began to get pangs of nostalgia for a time I was only familiar with because I had read some of the true anecdotes posted on the walls. Stories make it real. The people in these photos existed, they built lives, overcame obstacles, had families, contributed to the history of the province/country. We need places like this to remind us about how our country has developed over the years. It's a great learning and family experience. Starts conversations with your children about things that have meaning. Museums like this often operate on donations, so it's important we check out little gems like this when we have a little extra time in a small town. Let's keep these memory repositories in business, they are important teaching tools.
