EXPLORING HISTORY TOURS WITH THE FERNIE MUSEUM FOR WALK DATES & LOCATIONS, SEE P15.

Heritage Walking Tours invite you to step into the past with a local historian to explore Fernie through stories of Rum Runners, the devastating Great Fire of 1908 and the buildings and characters that have shaped the Historic Downtown.
