The Vernon Museum & the Family History Society are teaming up again to offer
Pleasant Valley Cemetery Tours. Saturday September 20th is the date to mark
on your calendar. There will be two options; a Cemetery Walking Tour from
9:30am-11:30am followed by a light lunch or a Cemetery Tour from
1:00pm-3:00pm followed by afternoon tea. The lunch and tea will both be
hosted at the museum. Local political figures, the Okanagan Hotel Fire
victims and the Internment Camp detainees will be among the dozen or so tour
guide Lawrna Myers of the Family History Society will be touching on during
the approximately two hour walking tour. More information about the
characters mentioned will also be on display at the museum during the lunch
and tea. 

 

Tickets are $20.00/person with a limit of 20 participants per tour. To avoid
disappointment you're strongly encouraged to purchase tickets early. Tickets
are only available at the museum and will not be available on the event
date.
