Sandon Historical Society Museum
The Sandon Historical Society Museum preserves and interprets the history of Sandon, a former silver-mining boomtown in the Kootenays that is now effectively a ghost town. The museum recently added a permanent exhibit, 'Window to the Past – Japanese Canadians in Sandon,' documenting the internment of Nikkei residents during 1942–1944. Located at the end of Slocan Star Street along a route signposted from Three Forks, it is a remote but rewarding destination for cyclists exploring the Slocan Valley.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, snʕickstx tmxʷúlaʔxʷ (Sinixt), and Syilx (Okanagan).
