Description
With displays and exhibits devoted to Canmore's coal-mining heritage, the Canmore Museum & Geoscience Centre is the place to dig for insight into the town's history and to learn about the geology of the area. The museum's displays about the geologic formations on three local hikes are particularly useful, and the museum also allows visitors to get hands-on with interactive exhibits that feature microscopes and computers. For anyone interested in the development of the town and the surrounding valley or the role that geology played in Canmore's history, this museum is not to be missed.
