Historic Walking Tour: Rum Running and Whiskey Six

Event Date(s):

Sunday, August 27, 2017

Time:

11:00am - 12:30pm

On the surface, Fernie might seem like any mountain town: beautiful vistas, interesting shops, and over 90 accessible hiking and biking trails, but if you dig a little deeper, you will discover a rich and dramatic history.

Discover the story of the three larger-than-life king-pin Rum Runners: Emilio Picariello, Jack Wilson and Mark Rogers, who ruled the illicit liquor trade from Lethbridge to Fernie down as far as Spokane, Washington.
