Museum, Historical
Museums make good friends. At the Canmore Museum & Geoscience Centre, a window is opened onto Canmore and its surrounding mountain landscape. Explore the people, places and stories about the town past and present – its mining heritage and the dramatic geology of the Canadian Rockies.
