The Museum offers a fascinating insight to the industries that
made Kaslo what it is today.A rich treasure of machinery, photos,
documents, dioramas, mining samples and more, to give visitors a sense
of what life was like in those wild prospecting days.

In her heyday there were hundreds of mines all over the region and Kaslo
was a major center for supplies for this “feverish” activity. In the 1970’s Dave May, The museum’s owner, recognized that many of the artifacts from this era were being removed to parts unknown by persons unknown and working with the owners of record saved as many of these historical pieces as practical.

Today, many of these artifacts are on display in the
basement of Teresa’s coffee shop where Dave set up a museum that
closely resembles a mine and shows with both Photos and the
historical pieces how an 1800’s mine looked and worked...
