Arrow Lakes Historical Society

False Fronts and Bygone Byways

Say goodbye to 2021 with our final livestream of the year! The first half of a two-part presentation, FALSE FRONTS AND BYGONE BYWAYS takes you on a freeform journey through the streets, roads, and buildings of the Arrow Lakes and upper Lardeau over the past 130 years. It’s a virtual road trip!  

In Vol. 1, we’ll start you off in Summit Lake and bring you through Brouse and Glenbank all the way to Broadway Street in downtown Nakusp before taking you up to the head of the lake at Galena Bay and Arrowhead. Along the way, you’ll see the evolution and development of some of Nakusp’s most notable buildings and businesses, learn how some of our valley’s roads and streets got their names, and of course enjoy over 125 classic images of our region.

Join us LIVE Friday, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. Pacific time (or watch anytime you want thereafter!) right here on our YouTube channel.

(Don’t forget to come back on Friday, Jan. 21, 2022 for Vol. 2, where we start off in Trout Lake and come back down along the south side of Broadway and the Nakusp waterfront before finishing our journey with the Burton, Fauquier, and Edgewood areas!)
