We think the Creston Valley is a very special place. Take a little time to explore this hidden gem of the Kootenays and we think you will agree.

Creston's agricultural heritage is evident in the many orchards, farms and vineyards that surround and link our community and give it its special character. The Creston Valley is wide, green, fertile and sunny!

We have plenty of wilderness too, sitting snuggly between the Selkirk and Purcell Mountain Ranges - not to mention the vast Kootenay lake right on our dorrstep.

There is so much to see and do in and around Creston, here is just a taster of what's available.

Come and eperience the relaxed pace of life in our Valley community. It has a great deal to offer.

Creston has one of the best small museums in BC. Explore local history through exhibits, events and guided tours. Join them for the Old-Fashioned Tea, Kids Day, or one oftheir other seasonal events. And don't miss the model railway! The museum has beautiful grounds with a picnic area, a gift shop featuring local history books and products by Creston Valley artists and artisans, and public washrooms.
