A DOWNTOWN WALKING TOUR OF FERNIE
As if alighting from an arriving train, begin a walking tour of Fernie at the former
CPR Station, 501 1st Avenue, now the Fernie Arts Station. This tour visits 12
of Fernie’s most iconic Historic Downtown buildings and features a variety of
architectural styles and photo opportunities. Beautiful deep gold and rose-tinted
brick and sandstone buildings line 2nd Avenue and are unique to Fernie. Look for
evidence of the 1908 fire in the form of soot and smoke residue on the brickwork.
Join a guided walking tour this summer at the museum.
Accessible, paved sidewalks | Approx. 45 minutes–1.5 hours
