Westbank Museum We are the Westbank Museum. Come learn about our community's history, or let us help you make your own! Admission is by donation. Kids!

Guided tours are available upon request. Come for our beaver and bear scavenger hunt. The Westbank Museum was established in 1978 by Clare and Billie Small to provide a repository for artifacts and documents of the settlement of the area. With these items, we generate historic and cultural programs and preserve the local settler heritage. Since its founding, the collection has grown to over 6000 artifacts and is continually expanding through donations. Our primary interest is in artifacts that are directly from and related to Westbank's heritage and pioneering families. These items have been generously donated by members of our community, pioneering families, and collectors. We consider all donations with respect to the item, its heritage, and the donor. Admission is by donation: $5 per person is the recommendation.

Today is National Indigenous Veterans Day. We recognize, honour and remember the sacrifices made by the 25 Indigenous individuals of our community who served in the military. Several were wounded in the line of duty, and in the case of Robert Theodore Clough, he made the ultimate sacrifice during the Second World War.

We will remember them.
