Explore Penticton's Historic places through a scavenger hunt and colouring book.
Created through a partnership between the museum and the Penticton & District Community Arts Council (PDCAC), this celebration of Historic Places Days offers a guided journey through some of Penticton's historic places by visiting each site and hunting for the answers.
Historic places Days is part of a larger national event hosted by the National Trust for Canada. Events take place July 3-31 in communities across the country.
Nearly 30 historic places are highlighted in the scavenger hunt and colouring book. 17 local artists were commissioned to create the colouring book pages based on the historic places.
Each comes in a booklet that can be picked up at the museum and the PDCAC. Both are free to the public. Digital downloads are always available online for printing.
