Bulkley Valley Museum

Explore the natural and human history of Smithers and the surrounding area at the Bulkley Valley Museum! Located in the historic Central Park Building, the Museum features engaging and informative temporary and permanent displays on local history and culture, including Witsuwit’en history, Driftwood Canyon fossils, the mysterious story of the first “Broken Arrow”, and the Bulkley Valley’s “gift to civilization” – the egg carton! Kids can explore at their own pace with our museum scavenger hunt.
