Books on the history of Peachland currently available at the Peachland Museum

The Story of Peachland, 3rd edition, by Don Wigfield (2018)

This 91-page book covers the chronological history of Peachland, arranged largely by decade. It also has several chapters on the history prior to the founding of the town in 1898, such as the Fur Brigade Trail, and the events that made the creation of communities on Okanagan Lake viable.

Peachland: A Pictorial History of the First 100 Years, by Richard Smith (2008)

This book was produced as a centennial project of the Peachland Historical Society and contains many early photographs from the author’s personal collection.

The Chronicles of Peachland: History of the Years from the beginning until 1983 (2017)

This book is a reissue of the first 210 pages of the classic (and now out-of-print) Peachland Memories volumes, containing the memories of the Peachland pioneers still alive in the early 1980’s. This is the purely historical section of these volumes. Unlike the original books, this new issue is now fully indexed, allowing the reader to more easily find desired information.

The Chronicles of Peachland: History of the Years 1984–2012 (2013)

This 278-page volume, with 78 articles on different aspects of Peachland life was produced by the Peachland Historical Society in 2013 to update Peachland happenings in the 30 years from the time that Peachland Memories was completed in 1983. Fully indexed, the book was the work of 43 different authors, each writing about the events or society on which they were directly involved.

Peachland: 100 Years of Council Meetings (multi-authored)

This book was the centennial project of the municipal staff and captures important or amusing items from meetings of Peachland Council over the years.

Coming soon…

The Roads of Peachland: the Historical Origin of their Names, 2nd edition, by Don Wigfield (2011)

This first edition of this book, now sold out, contains the background to all the road names in Peachland, the majority of which honour individuals or families who have made a difference in enhancing the quality of life in Peachland. The second edition, expected to be available in fall 2018, will expand the information to include both new roads built since 2011, as well as names for future roads that have been approved by Council.

The Pioneer Families of Peachland

This book will be a reissue of the family sections of Peachland Memories (pages 211-346 of Volume I and all of Volume II). It will also contains a full index – the absence of which was a severe drawback to using the original volumes. This index is currently in preparation and it is hoped that the book will be available in early 2019.

.PEACHLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY OPENS PEACHLAND FIRE & RESCUE DISPLAY BUILDING
Sunday, August 5, 2018
​On Sunday, August 5, the Peachland Historical Society celebrated the grand opening of its new Peachland Fire & Rescue display building located outside the Peachland Museum. Okanagan Town Crier Bruce Klippenstein hailed the public to the event which started at the Peachland Museum at 1:30 pm with President Barbara Dionne making a presentation speech and Mayor Fortin cutting the ribbon surrounded by members of the Peachland Fire and Rescue Brigade who largely funded the construction project. The ceremony proceeded with the antique fire hose-cart (which the new building houses for display purposes) being drawn to the Rotary Pavilion in Heritage park. There at 2 pm a cake was cut and served to the public.

The Velveteen Rabbit

LOCATION: The WorkRoom, 100-2600 Enterprise Way

DESCRIPTION:
Show Time: Thursday to Saturday at 6:30pm | Saturday and Sunday Matinees at 1pm and 3:30pm

The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams and adapted by Scott Davidson is the timeless tale of friendship, love and sacrifice as revealed through the story of a small stuffed rabbit given as a gift to a little boy. The child's beloved stuffed animal longs to become “real”. A combination of love and magic fulfill the rabbit's wish, but only after the rabbit has become the boy’s best friend and helped him to survive scarlet fever through love and care. The nursery’s toys come alive and while the Toy Train and the Wind up Mouse debate their importance and fancy mechanisms, the old Skin Horse reminds the new Velveteen Rabbit that a t​oy’s love is far more important.

YABBA DABBA DOOOOO!!! A NEW EXHIBITION!Please join us for the special opening of Kelowna’s Amusing Past
Kelowna was an incredible place for entertainment during the last half of the 20th century. It boasted drive-in theatres, roller rinks, regattas, snowfests, rodeos, parades, zoos, and amusement parks. Tourism ads from the time billed the city as “the fun capital of Canada!!” 
Kelowna’s Amusing Past takes a light-hearted look at some of the city’s bygone amusement sites and annual festivals that brought the community together. Come and learn about the Regatta rioters, Snogo, Myta the Smoking Chimp and Kelowna’s very own Walt Disney (with a hint of Bob Ross). The exhibition runs from August 17, 2019 to November 18, 2019.
 
OPENING CELEBRATION
Join us as we celebrate the characters, places and stories that make up Kelowna’s Amusing Past with a fun-filled afternoon of carnival snacks, games, prizes, magic and local royalty!
Date: Wednesday, August 21, 2019
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Location: Okanagan Heritage Museum (470 Queensway Ave, Kelowna BC)
