Fort Nelson Heritage Days

February 18, 2009 | Tips from Travellers > Fort Nelson, Festivals & Events

Fort Nelson's Heritage Days are a fantastic way to experience Fort Nelson's History in a beautiful wintery wonderland.

Last year, the museum opened up for FREE, for locals and tourists to wander and experience the high quality displays and enormous collection of the Fort Nelson Museum.  Marl Brown, curator of the museum, is always seen chatting with guests, starting up old engines, and even riding his crazy bike which steers with both wheels.

Visitors experienced fresh baked bannock at the Trapper's Cabin, live music with local musicians playing both historical favorites and some new songs, and the hospitality and vibrancy of small town citizens.

If you are traveling the Alaska Highway this year at the end of February, I would encourage you to come - I'm sure it will be even better than last year!  The Fort Nelson Historical Society are the ones to contact for more info!

Hope to see you there!
