Keremeos Museum / South Similkameen Museum

What was once the prison cell in the court building on 6th Ave. and 6th St. today houses the little Keremeos Museum, called the South Similkameen Museum.

This little white house, almost resembling a doll house, was built in 1907 and was moved to its present location a decade later and used as a jail until 1959. With the building of a new jail the little old jail was closed. It became a designated heritage building in 1991 and has served as the South Similkameen Museum since 1973.
