The Riverfront Center houses the Trail Museum the Trail Public Library, and the Trail Visitor Center. As of June 2018, the "Centre" is brand new. The Museum, per se, on the second floor is very professionally done, and is quite interesting. Parking is on the street at parking meters. You may also wish to visit the Teck Interpretive Centre, perhaps 3 blocks away on the same street. The Teck Interpretive Centre contains interesting exhibits on the Trail Smelter (the city's major employer). It is also possible to arrange for free tours of the smelter.

Established in 1955, the Rossland Historical Museum and Archives Association is a not-for-profit society whose mission is to preserve and dynamically present the heritage of Rossland and area. The Rossland Historical Museum & Archives Association began in the basement of the Rossland Court House in 1954 and was incorporated under the BC Societies Act in March of 1955. The present museum was built on the site of the Black Bear mine in 1967 as a Canadian Centennial project. Although the mine (and underground tour) is permanently closed, the museum still speaks to this area of our history and property tours are still conducted throughout the summer. The museum is also the host organization for the Destination BC Visitor Centre and has tourist information, maps, and guides pertaining to BC, the Kootenay Rockies, and other tourist regions as well as our local communities.

We were driving by when we decided to stop and let the kids stretch their legs. Ended up paying for a museum admission and was pleasantly surprised by all of the things they had on display. Predominantly a mining museum showing how the town of Rossland was build upon Gold Mines. Inside though were other unique displays about sport stars from Rossland. Ancient life in Rossland. History of mining industry in Rossland / Trail region. My young kids enjoyed looking at all the displays inside and outside. Staff was very friendly and the place was really clean. They even let me bring my dog along so she didn’t have to stay in the hot car. Very happy we stopped and decided to take a look around.
