With a convenient location just blocks from 30th Avenue, the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives is an ideal place to begin your discovery of Vernon’s past and present. Explore local flora and fauna in the Natural History section, before taking a swim or hike in the Okanagan’s beautiful outdoors. Tour Vernon’s 28 full-sized murals, after learning the stories behind the faces in the archives. Or cross the Museum’s boardwalk to see meticulously-recreated Vernon shops, and then stroll past a number of preserved heritage properties on 30th Avenue and East Hill.  A comprehensive research facility is also on site, where trained archival staff are happy to assist researchers of any age or interest.
