qathet Museum & Archives

Learned a lot about the history of Powell River and some Indigenous facts that were new to me. Nice selection in the giftshop area, knowledgeable and super friendly staff.

If your looking for family history in Powell river . This is the place . Great museum and memorabilia as well

Nice collection of random artifacts. Some native, many from early local business, and other assorted items.
We chatted for a while with the friendly lady in charge.
There is a Flow charger here and this makes a good place for a quick boost.

Loved this museum. There was a timeline of the local First Nation after European contact, and it was really illuminating and interesting, I hadn’t seen anything similar and really appreciated it. Otherwise all around a great museum and loved my chat with the young lady with dark hair from Ontario, who was working that day. She was really knowledgeable and great at presenting Powell Rivers history.

Lots of great history!! Even more than just Powell River including retro home items.. very neat, must see.
