HISTORY & HERITAGE.
JOURNEY THROUGH THE PAST AND PRESENT. Revelstoke was founded in the 1880s when the industrious trans-continental railway first forged its way through the rugged West. Born of ornate Victorian architecture, much of the city’s original flair survives to this day thanks to a strong mandate to preserve it. From the inception of Canadian mountain tourism to the contributions of logging and mining, it’s all a part of our heritage. Visit the art gallery and museums listed here (right) to learn how Rogers Pass became the birthplace of North American mountaineering. Stand on the historic Nels Nelsen ski jump in Mount Revelstoke National Park for a first-hand view of Revelstoke’s past and present. Visit the First Footsteps trail in Mount Revelstoke National Park for First Nations artwork. Stroll the Koo Koo Sint trail at the top of the park to follow in explorer David Thompson’s seminal footsteps. PHOTOS: REVELSTOKE MUSEUM & ARCHIVES | MT.MACKENZIE
