Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum

The Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum celebrates the inseparable history of railways and the forest industry in British Columbia’s north-central interior. Located in Fort George Park in Prince George, the museum features an extensive outdoor collection of historic railway and forestry equipment displayed in a beautiful riverside park setting. Among the highlights are numerous vintage locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars, cabooses, and a remarkable array of logging and forestry machinery that reflects the twin industries that built Prince George and the surrounding region. The museum also features the unique narrow-gauge steam locomotive from Fort George Park that was built by Davenport in 1912 and has been rebuilt multiple times over the years — a testament to the enduring appeal of steam power. Visitors can walk through the historic Cottonwood Island Park on the banks of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers, exploring the outdoor exhibits at their leisure. The museum offers guided tours and special events throughout the season, providing educational programming that brings the history of northern BC’s resource industries to life. For anyone interested in the railway and forestry heritage of northern British Columbia, this museum is an essential destination.
