HISTORY & HERITAGE
DOWNTOWN FERNIE HERITAGE PUB WALK
Promoting Fernie Beer in a Dominion Day parade outside The Imperial Bank , now the popular Brickhouse Bar & Grill .
Fernie ’ s charming Historic Downtown hides deep secrets involving rumrunners , backroom clubs of an unsavoury nature , devastating fires , and even murder and malice . Follow this pub walk to learn about some of the locations still in operation , and those that didn ’ t make it , and stop in for refreshments at four historical locations along the way .
