The Village of Lumby owns the Lumby Museum which is operated and maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers. Mayor Joanne Kineshanko and MP Lyle MacWilliam officially opened the museum on May 29, 1993.
In 1996, volunteers began constructing an outside viewing shed to house large logging and agriculture artifacts. Before the building was completed a strong wind blew the building over. Al Hobbs and John Fawcett and many other volunteers raised the building back up BY HAND, USING ROPES AND SHEER DETERMINATION. Today, thanks to Area D Director Rick Fairbairn and the Regional District of the North Okanagan, the outside viewing shed has been enclosed to protect Lumby’s valuable large artifacts.
