An Arts Station Program

By Fernie and District Historical Society.

A whole city destroyed in the 90 minutes, burnt down by a raging fire that struck the valley on the afternoon of August 1st 1908. Now, one hundred years later, the marks of the Great Fire are still evident across the Elk Valley.

One of Fernie’s defining historical events is explored in this new and interactive exhibit. Running for the month of August ( July 28th- August 27th) the historical society invites you to come down to the Art Station and uncover some of Fernie’s fiery past.
