Description
The Mackenzie Crossroads Museum and Visitor Centre aims to promote the history and development of the area from the 1900’s to present by collecting, preserving, and exhibiting artifacts, as well as providing alternative educational programming while supporting and promoting local tourism. The primary exhibit in the Museum, the “Northern Trading Post”, features an outstanding collection of over 1600 food and medicine containers, donated by local residents. These, plus other artifacts in use during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, are showcased in a typical Trading Post/General Store setting with living quarters attached. Supplementary displays also feature farming, trapping, and native peoples of the region. A regional historical photo display is a valued part of the collection.
