Featuring a unique, 15 meter (50 foot) mural by Summerland local artist Bruce Crawford, our permanent exhibits explore the early history of development and settlement of the Summerland District. Rotating yearly, our temporary displays in the Tait Room look into historical issues and events important to the Summerland area within a regional, national, and international perspective.
