Mackenzie & District MuseumBox 934
Mackenzie was one of the many planned communities born out of the forestry resource boom in the 1960’s and the Museum has documented every step of this energetic community’s growth. Photographs colourfully illustrate the remarkable job contractors undertook in building roads, homes, mills and even creating Canada’s largest man-made lake, in the wilderness of northern B.C.
