Whistler's pioneer past.

Before the world-famous slopes and resort, Whistler Valley was settled by pioneers. In the early 1900s the region was a base for loggers and miners. They started calling the area "Whistler" in homage to the shrill whistle sound made by the Western Hoary Marmots living among the rocks. The Whistler Museum offers visitors a chance to experience Whistler's pioneer era as well as the region's natural history.
