Spirit River and District Museum
  Surrounded by several historic buildings, the Spirit River and
District Museum uses its large collection of farm tools, equipment,
and many household artefacts to provide a view of homestead life in
the central Peace River country during the early part of the
century.
 The Spirit River and District Museum’s collection includes local
newspapers, pictures, furnishings, and tools. The museum is home to
the Charlie Oxford's Cabin, Avery and Ida Winchell's homestead house, a
church, school, pole shed, farmhouse, flour mill, planer and
sawmill, and a 100 year old horse driven wooden water well drilling
machine. Visitors will find a blacksmith shop, dairy milk house,
Pich Oven, and an oilfield pumpjack.
A post office and general store, with a hospital operating room
make up the main museum building.
