New exhibit on now at the Fort St. John North Peace Museum!   Before roads, rivers were the highways of First Nations and early settlers. Birch bark canoes allowed First Nations to travel swiftly. Steamboats could travel over 500 miles along the Peace River from the chutes near Fort Vermillion to gates at Hudson’s Hope. This exhibit looks at over twelve boats, steam and gas powered, that used to navigate up and down the Peace River.    Watch a slideshow of archival photographs, and listen to the sounds of steamboats. See what a dining table on the D. A. Thomas may have looked like. Try on a life jacket and see how it compares to one from over 100 years ago.

Beginning with Frank's BC Penitentiary admission form, Brenda L. Smith works from his German roots, across North America to his years on a trapline in the Finlay River Valley. Frank Weber operated his trapline in the Finlay River Valley from 1917 until his death in 1952. The story of his solitary occupation and encounters with neighbours and sojourners illuminates fur-trading life on the eastern slope of the Rockies in the first half of the last century. Weber's life has been described in accounts of local events, as well as the surveying of BC's northeast and the Bedeaux Expedition.   Brenda L. Smith is a writer and researcher in Maple Ridge. Presently, Brenda is a founding member of the Maple Ridge Family History Group, and a member of its Community History Project Team.
