Okanagan Historical Society Vernon Branch

The Vernon Branch of the OHS has recently experienced a revitalization, thanks to the dedication of a small but committed group of volunteers who have breathed new life into its operations. One of the most exciting outcomes of this renewed energy is a revived partnership with the Museum & Archives of Vernon, culminating in two major joint initiatives: a speaker series titled Hometown Histories and an annual fundraising calendar featuring archival images. You can stay up to date with Vernon Branch activities by following us on Facebook and Instagram, where we regularly share event details, historical content, and project updates.
