Revelstoke Railway Museum
Don't miss the great Revelstoke Railway Museum, which houses restored steam locomotives, including one of the largest steam engines ever used on CPR lines. Photographs and artifacts document the construction of the CPR, pay tribute to its hardy workers and relate the railway's original financial woes. Volunteer railway engineers are often on hand to offer yarns about the heyday of rail travel.
You'll be forgiven if you get a bit wistful pondering the noble past of railway dining - there's not a paper plate in sight. The museum bookstore carries a huge selection of books about the building of the CPR, which was instrumental - if not essential - in linking Canada.

Woolsey Creek
The region's best restaurant, now housed in an old German restaurant, is run by two women who came for a visit from Quebec and never left. The stuffed animal heads are long gone, but in their place is an eclectic and changing menu that ranges from jambalaya to seafood to pasta. The vast patio is shielded by sunflowers in season. The bar often gets packed with buddies and stays open late.

Grizzly Plaza
Grizzly Plaza is a pedestrian square and the centre of downtown, where free live music performances- some achingly sincere if not good - take place in the evening throughout July and August. Life-sized bronze grizzly bears flank the plaza. Throughout downtown, look for historical plaques on the many restored buildings.
