Heritage Week 2021 Celebrates
Where do you find heritage?
R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum are celebrating the 25th Annual
Heritage Week from February 15-21, 2021, with a different look this year?
The Village & Museum are taking our Heritage Week activities online, and
we are partnered with The Mall at Piccadilly for a Covid-19 safe week of
celebration. Get ready to discover our rich local heritage in a whole new way.
This year's heritage week theme is, "Where do you find
heritage?" Do you find it in the buildings that make Salmon
Arm unique, or do you hear it in the extraordinary stories
your family tells? Perhaps you experience it at the Art
Gallery or R.J. Haney Heritage Village or in the taste of the
many cuisines around town. Or maybe you find it on your
favourite hikes and when you stop to admire the scenery of
the Shuswap. Or you think of the generations of people who came before you or the faces of the
newcomers to our community. Look around you, and you will find heritage everywhere.
Due to Covid-19, we encourage our community to gather virtually to
celebrate Heritage Week and discovering the history and stories that
have shaped our community and rooting us to our past. We invite you to
participate in our online activities and contests, stay within your
household bubble, and have some safe fun.
The week-long event kicks off with the Shuswap's
largest online auction. Bidding opens Monday,
February 15, and closes Saturday, February 20, at
3:00 pm. Register as a bidder, and the online
platform allows instant updates if you've been outbid,
ensuring you don't miss out on the items you want to win. It is

Where do you find heritage?
R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum is a registered not-for-profit charitable organization that
proudly preserves Salmon Arm and the surrounding community's history. The facility is managed by
the Salmon Arm Museum and Heritage Association. The donations and proceeds from Heritage Week
support the amazing projects and educational programs at the Heritage Village & Museum.
Located on the east side of Salmon Arm at 751 Highway 97 B, it
is the Shuswap's largest heritage destination. It welcomes
visitors from far and wide who discover how the early settlers
and pioneers of the Shuswap lived. Set on 40 acres of the
prettiest farmland in the Shuswap, the site comprises 24 buildings
that are either replicas or originals and over 30 exhibits,
including the original 1910 Haney House.
The Montebello Museum is the recipient of the 2018
Thompson-Okanagan-Kootenay Commercial Building
Awards "Award of Merit" and the Associations Canada
150 Lasting Legacy Project. Nine storefronts complete
the Village stories, such as Miss Puff's Millinery, the
Salmon Arm Telephone Exchange, the McGuire
General Store and the E.A. Palmer Butcher Shop. It is
the home for the Ernie Doe Archives Room, the Museum's Collection and Gallery.
The Children's Museum and Discovery Centre and Outdoor Play Area provide hours of playful discovery
for families. Located in the Broadview School House's main level in the heart of the Village, the
Children's Museum and Discovery Centre is themed around the natural elements at the Heritage
Village, the water of the Shuswap and our early settlers. The outdoor play area is located directly
behind the Discovery Centre.
If you are looking for a unique lunch experience, the Village's full-
service restaurant, the Sprig of Heather, offers indoor and outdoor
seating for up to 140 guests. It is also the new home for dinner service
for Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre. The commercial kitchen
handles all the culinary needs for the daily menu, events, weddings
and corporate functions at the Heritage Village.
A must-see is our very popular Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre
Production. You can enjoy a home-cooked meal and live theatre every
Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday evening in July and August. It is a
highlight of Salmon Arm's summer cultural entertainment!
The property boasts a 2.3-kilometre
walking trail in a woodland setting
covering two climate zones, which parallel Canoe Creek. With a Trail
Guide in-hand, visitors discover the property's natural history and
identify the plants used by early settlers and pioneers.
Throughout the season, visitors can also participate in the
many special events hosted at the Village with our
community partners, including High Tea, Pioneer Day, the
Annual Car Show, Harvest Celebration, Spooktacular and
more. Some of the best memories are made at R.J. Haney
Heritage Village & Museum, and a visit from May through
September is well worth the trip!
