Father Pandosy Mission is Kelowna's oldest European settlement — a historic site preserving the region's first European land claim, school, church, and large-scale agricultural operation. Original pioneer buildings and artifacts from multiple eras are scattered across a park-like property that draws 7,000–10,000 visitors annually from around the world. Touring cyclists exploring the south Kelowna area can stop here for a self-guided walk through the earliest chapter of the Okanagan's agricultural heritage.
