Ashcroft Museum and Archives

The Ashcroft Museum and Archives is ope throughout the summer. It focuses on the town's history with displays on the native history of the Southern Cariboo, the early times of the town of Ashcroft, the so called "glory days" before the town suffered major damage from a fire in 1916. Also of interest are displays on the agricultural history of Hat Creek Valley, coal mining, and pioneer life.

Built in 1917, the Ashcroft Museum and Archives building was originally the site of the federal post office. The museum was created in 1935 with the private collection of R.D. Cumming. It moved to its present location in 1982.
