| Inverness Miner's Museum |
Established in the former Canadian National Railway Station (1901), the Museum's purpose is to promote, conserve, research, communicate, and exhibit history, heritage, and local culture to the community and visitors. Extensive displays depict the underground miner, the miner's home, and street scenes with background murals, making the relationship with another era more vivid. Complemented with artifacts, paintings, drawings, photographs, A/V collection, archives, and gallery this site reflects both the pioneering and mining history of the community from 1803 to the mining eras of the 19th and 20th centuries. Museum Annex Art Gallery features a series of art shows, including costume and quilt exhibits. Workshops are also planned.
Hiking, eco-tours, mine site and fossil study tours arranged. Coal samples, pamphlets, booklets, photographs also available.
