The idea of a museum for Osoyoos began in 1955. The Osoyoos Museum Society was formally established in 1963. The museum was first located on Main Street and since 1975 has been situated next to Gyro Park in the former curling rink -- including a clubhouse and Quonset hut -- which houses a collection of over 4,000 objects. Today, we are planning for the future and a new facility which will ultimately see the museum return to Main Street at a prominent location across from Town Hall.
Nestled under the watchful eye of the magnificent Mt. Cheam, Agassiz is a friendly, agricultural community known for its healthy country living and endless outdoor activities! Being the home of the original Circle Farm Tour, as well as a popular spot for sturgeon fishing on the Mighty Fraser River, paragliding off Mt. Cheam, and being neighbour's with the beautiful village of Harrison Hot Springs, we are no longer one of the Fraser Valley's best kept secrets, but a popular tourist destination for visitors from all over the world!
