Welcome

The Hedley Heritage Museum Society was founded in 1983 by a few dedicated members who, through their volunteer efforts, succeeded in establishing a museum and archives to preserve Hedley’s unique gold mining heritage.

The museum is located on a beautiful treed site across the street from its new park where you will find picnic tables set amid the mining artifacts. Both the old Lyon’s house and the original log barn are open for viewing.

Inside is an amazing collection of historical photos showing all aspects of a gold mining community in its hey day.  As well, you will see displays, a replica mine portal and much more.

Browse through the Wild Goat Book shop for items you will only find in Hedley. 

“Ringed by mountains of old, the rustic Hedley Museum beckons visitors who seek the secrets of those who toiled for gold.”

Tourist Information is also available at the Museum.

At the museum, a historical interpreter, dressed in period costume, will lead you through the history of the two major gold mines in Hedley. You will learn of the exciting new tours to the restored Mascot Gold Mine with its underground tunnel and startling special effects.
