Fernie and District Historical Society Museum
Fernie and District Museum was opened in 1979 in the old vicarage of the 1905 church at 502-5th Ave. and its exhibits illustrate the lives of the early pioneers in this region as well as coal-mining at the turn of the century.
In 1999 the church, needing the space for themselves, reclaimed the space leaving the Fernie and District Museum homeless.
