history

Mountain View is a post-modern neighbourhood and not an area many might consider “heritage”. However, the neighbourhood has a history associated with the airport that once occupied this area, was developed in the 1960s and 1970s as an affordable neighbourhoods for people working in the mines, and residences continue to be upgraded and redeveloped throughout this neighbourhood.

The Fernie Museum has collected objects since 1964. The diverse collections tell how communities in the Elk Valley grew and evolved over time. Individual objects provide insight into each generation’s desire to preserve their part of the Fernie story. In a rare peek into the vaults, the Fernie Museum presents 150 treasures and curiosities in the final exhibition celebrating Canada 150.

These objects have not been seen by the public since they were put into storage 20 years ago. In 2018, the Museum will begin a program to rehouse and catalogue the entire collection.
