Castlegar-Dist Heritage Society

The Castlegar-District Heritage Society manages the Castlegar Canadian Pacific Railway Museum, located in a well-preserved 100-year-old train station that offers a glimpse into the early 1900s experience of train travel. The museum features a range of historical artifacts, including newspaper archives, and is surrounded by beautifully landscaped areas ideal for visitors seeking a moment of rest.

Additionally, the society highlights the area's rich history, including the completion of the CPR rail link in 1887 and the strategic importance of paddle wheelers such as the SS Minto. As a center for local heritage, the society engages with community stories through pioneer interviews and provides insights into the development of Castlegar's transportation routes.
