MUSEUMS & HISTORICAL SITES |
Salmon Arm Museum
Salmon Arm was one of the citys in the southern interior to be "opened up." Spallumcheen, Coldstream and Grande Prairie lay on or near the Bay's old Brigade Trail and were sparsely settled by stockmen as early as the 1860s. A wagon road followed, giving the Okanagan Valley a reliable connection to Kamloops beyond.
During the short-lived gold rush on the Columbia River in 1865, the main force of miners and hangers-on- traveled to the trailhead at Seymour Arm (Ogden City) via Thompson River and Shuswap Lake, but Salmon Arm's lakefront lay virtually ignored. After the gold petered out, years elapsed before water transport picked up again, when farmers in the Spallumcheen sought an outlet for produce. .... more info
