      History

      The Osoyoos Museum was established in 1963 to tell the general story of the Osoyoos area from its geological formation to the present day and, more specifically, to cover the non-native settlement of the area. The main goal of the museum is to portray aspects of everyday life in the past and present of people in the Osoyoos area, which also includes Richter, Kruger, Kobau and Anarchist mountains.
