Visit the Railway Museum, which has a fully restored steam locomotive among other memorabilia. Visit “The Last Spike,” just south of Revelstoke where, in 1885, the Hon. Donald Alexander Smith drove the last spike completing Canada's Trans-Continental railway. Go further back in time, and visit the Rogers Pass Historic Site, where, in 1881, Major A.B. Rogers finally found a route through the Selkirk Mountains. Visit the Revelstoke Museum and Archives to learn about all the different aspects of Revelstoke History. Also check out the Firehall Museum, the B.C. Interior Forestry Museum, and the Three Valley Lake Ghost Town among others. Heliskiing BC
