We are in Vernon, BC, on Supporting Local Tourism at the Vernon Museum and archives today. In the Vernon Museum, there are lots of Local and Canadian animals, a wonderful indigenous exhibit, and a FULL downtown strip that takes you back to the 1930s! Walking into Vernon Museum is walking through history, more than just any museum. The Vernon Museum has a cut-out of an old 1930’s home, with a game for the children visiting. There is a Natural History exhibit which is a favourite around children, complete with animals and insects! There is even a scavenger hunt for the little ones with just pictures of what to find!

While in Merritt, B.C, I was invited to “Hat Doctor”! I was able to interview the Hat doctors on the process of making and fixing custom cowboy hats. I also got my head-sized, a tour of the shop, as well as surprised with a custom-made keychain and cute cowboy hat pens for my preschool classroom! This visit was AMAZING and one of my highlights! I learned that while most people have a “long oval” shaped head, my head is a “regular oval” shape!

During my trip to Merritt, BC, I was invited to the Nicola Valley Museum-Archives. As you may know, I am a sucker for any museum or historic location, so I was very excited to get inside and take a look around. I was treated to my very own tour, showing me what life was like 100 years ago in the Nicola Valley. From how to use an icebox to indigenous culture, this museum has it all. They even have a Real MAMMOTHS tusk, which was pretty cool to see in person!! I mean, not many people can say they have seen a real mammoth’s tusk in person; visit the Nicola Valley Museum-Archives, and you can tell all your friends this as well!
