Princeton & District Museum
Founded in 1958 and operated by the Princeton and District Museum and Archives Society, this community museum houses an impressive range of collections including over 40,000 fossil and mineral specimens, a First Peoples basket display, approximately 10,000 historic photographs, and an original 1880s cabin. It has grown from a small log cabin to a multi-wing facility and is widely praised as one of the best small-town museums in BC. Touring cyclists interested in the natural and human history of the Similkameen Valley will find it a rewarding stop.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Nłeʔkepmx Tmíxʷ (Nlaka’pamux), Syilx (Okanagan), and Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla.
