    Very informative and a great museum with history and artifacts. Only found it by chance while camping.

    Stopped into Kilby on the way to a stay in Harrison Hot Springs last week. Our stop and walkabout…read morewas made specifically to take a peak at the current condition of flooding affecting the Lake, beach, and campground area there. We drove down to the campground area, and were able to park on the road, just to the front of the highway signs, and barriers that had been erected to stop any further passage by vehicles, and warnings to those on foot to be careful. Most of the beach and campground areas were totally under water from the river and lake flooding currently affecting the area. It looked, and felt strange to see roadways, sites, signs, and most everything we know so well at this location, submerged in water!! We talked to a couple of area residents, and were told that this particular area of Kilby floods each year, and although flooding this year was significant, it was not nearly as bad as some previous years, when more of the area homes, cottages, et al, were also more directly affected. They said that conditions had basically stabilized at this time, and retreating of the water should be taking place soon. Hope for all their sakes, retreating of the water has started for them, and this lovely area of Harrison Mills within the Kilby Historic Site, will be back to normal soon.

    A fun place to take the family (young and old). The tour is very entertaining. Restaurant is great…read moreand the home made pies are outstanding!

    Review Visit: July 22nd, 2015…read more Interested in Canadian history, eh? On the strange and long journey through Canada, I didn't expect us to end up at a Museum dedicated to Princeton and the surrounding area. We headed to Princeton for a few days before making that long trek home. While there, my cousin's wife took us around to show us the little town. We ended up at this museum and learned a bit more about Canada. This museum, despite the small-looking size outside, offered a ton of information and historical artifacts on the inside. I was astounded by the amount of cool antique objects and small replicas that the small museum held. It was really cool to look over and learn about not just the history of another country but the story behind the local area. Compared to some other museums that I have been to, this one felt homely and welcoming. The few staff members made us feel really welcomed and answered any questions we had. Not sure what else to say about this place. It was a nice little history stop in our long journey. If you find yourself in Princeton with an afternoon free and you got a hankering for learning, this place won't disappoint.

    Delightful museum and archives in a historically interesting part of BC…read more Princeton was originally called Vermilion Forks, because of the large vermilion deposits here which were important to the First Nations people. Vermilion was not the only historically significant material, as mining played a very important part in the area's development; copper, gold, coal and some platinum. Now there is some mining operations but by far the most important industry is the lumber industry. The museum houses a wonderful old fossil collection as well as many other interesting artifacts and exhibits. These include a butterfly collection, an antique doll collection, a stagecoach, a fire engine, displays about local history, and local native artifacts. It also boasts a livery stable and fire house in its outbuilding. If you are interested in the local pioneer and native people's history, this is the place to come. It's a great way to spend time in the area learning its history and enjoying your time. Then go outside and imagine what life was like for these people. It will give you a new perspective on things, guaranteed.
