The museum presents a variety of touring exhibitions each year showcasing the unique history and culture of the Robson Valley. It shares a building on Main Street with the McBride and District Public Library.
The focal point of Main Street is the train station at First St. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway built the train station in 1913. A fire burnt the building down in 1918. The station was quickly rebuilt and reopened in 1919 on the original site. The trains still ride through the station and pick up passengers on a daily basis. The station houses the Whistle Stop, a gallery of quality work done by local artists and crafters, as well as McBride's Visitor Information Centre and a locally owned coffee shop The Beanery.
Equipped with gym, a regulation sized ice hockey arena, two curling sheets and a convertible court.
A naturally formed ox-bow lake that allows birdwatchers to observe waterfowl and other birds from an observation platform. Located just over a kilometre drive southeast from the centre of McBride.
A 1 km relatively flat trail on the west side of the river to the Beaver Falls.
Located on the east side of the river. Has some camp site and visitors can watch spawning salmon in a side channel.
Has 20 camp sites and La Salle lake for swimming, diving, and fishing.
Offers views of McBride and the mountains. Has picnic tables.
The parade heads down Main Street at 10 am the first Saturday in June, followed by heavy horse demonstrations, logger sports, ball games and horseshoe tournaments–even sword fighting–and lots of things for kids to do all weekend. There is a century of vehicles and farm machinery at the show and shine, a quilt walk and lots of live music and food.
