Museo e Archivi di Vernon

Esperienza fantastica: Ottimo servizio!

Esperienza fantastica: Museo davvero buono date le dimensioni! Personale molto gentile e il manager si è presentato di persona.

Esperienza positiva: Well maintained, admission by donation. Very focused on the history of the town and surrounding region, which wasn't overly interesting to me personally.

Esperienza fantastica: Very interesting, and even our 6 year olds were stimulated! Now we know the Wildlife Museum is okay to take them.

Esperienza fantastica: Really impressed! Interesting exhibits about Vernon history and some stuffed wildlife. Worth a visit.

Esperienza positiva: Here's a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Esperienza positiva: Great staff. Very knowledgeable. I enjoyed visiting with OMMC

Esperienza fantastica: Fifteen years ago, this building changed from a library to a museum and archives. The last time I was here was in elementary school when my best friend and I had to research science projects in the fifth grade. I don't talk to him anymore. This was twenty-one years ago. Today was my first time stepping foot inside since then. Recommended donation for entry is $5 to $10. Given how tiny the museum is and contrasting it with the cost of other museums around the world that I have visited in 63 countries, $5 seems like the reasonable amount (or even less). What is shown here doesn't overlap much with O' Keefe Ranch, thankfully. It talks about immigrants from Asia, First Nations artifacts and communities, the canoe, the first mayor, the first radio station, the first pharmacy, and the first school. There are general fun facts about animals too in a section designed for kids. The Gold Rush years and the history of local war detachments are mentioned here too. I would say you could read every line of every installation and be out of here in under an hour. Most people will struggle spending more than 30-40 minutes. Overall, if you're a tourist, only pop in here if you happen to be around City Hall or it's a day of lousy weather. Don't go out of your way to come here. If you're local, it's a great way to learn about local history that you likely forgot about since the fourth grade. P.S. A man offered a co-worker an ice cream sandwich. I said I would like to have one, but he didn't offer me any.

Esperienza fantastica: Always love coming to the museum. The museum staff are always helpful and knowledgeable.

Esperienza fantastica: Lots of interesting history and displays, A must for all to see!!

Esperienza fantastica: If You love the heritage of Vernon, you should go take a look. Some of the displays are similar to the Heritage park in Calgary. But I guess it is how people's life was in the early 1900.

Esperienza fantastica: I am glad this place exists. A wonderful place to be safe and relax.

Esperienza fantastica: Very friendly staff, great little place to walk back in time.

Esperienza fantastica: I never realized how much history Vernon had as a city. Rich military past, interesting artists, and loads of surprising facts. I recommend taking your family for a visit and checking out the mural and ghost tours with Gabe. Every Thursday evening there are concerts out front of the museum which is really neat.

Esperienza fantastica: Nice curator and several blasts from the past!

Esperienza positiva: Vernon is a small city but the museum was a delightful surprise. They have done a really good job of creating very interesting displays which really educate you to the history of the area. They have a treasure trove of all manner of objects from the past as well as the stories of many people who settled the area and their contributions. I went as I was accompanying my elderly father but I ended up enjoying it as much as him.
