OSOYOOS MUSEUM

The idea of a museum for Osoyoos began in 1955. The Osoyoos Museum Society was formally established in 1963. The museum was first located on Main Street and since 1975 has been situated next to Gyro Park in the former curling rink -- including a clubhouse and Quonset hut -- which houses a collection of over 4,000 objects. Today, we are planning for the future and a new facility which will ultimately see the museum return to Main Street at a prominent location across from Town Hall... Our Board of Directors reflect our community diversity with close connections to the Osoyoos Indian Band, the Osoyoos and District Arts Council, the Okanagan Historical Society, the Canadian Legion, and other organizations. The museum is a member of the BC Museums Association and Canadian Museums Association... Historical information about Osoyoos, BC and its surrounding area.
