What fun is booking a motorhome rental in Nelson if you don't get out and explore the city? Visit the Touchstones Nelson Museum of Art and History. Visitors will enjoy learning about the resourcefulness of the former inhabitants of the area. There are visual and interactive displays, including First People, First Culture, First Land, an introduction to the Ktunaxa and Sinixt Nations. Another exhibit is Way Down in the Mines, which covers the beginning of Nelson’s economic history through the silver rush. Visitors will be transported through time, learning about the triumphs and heartbreaks that helped shape the city and surrounding area. Many people come to see the Nelson Fire and Rescue Hall, where fire technology has evolved from its very beginnings, when bucket brigades were the only way to put out a fire to the times of wagons pulled by horses to current fire engines. In 1891, the first firefighters began serving the city to protect the city from a serial arsonist. The current Nelson Fire and Rescue Hall was completed in 1913. This is the same location where many of the scenes from Roxanne were filmed in 1986. Downtown Nelson is a sight to see, especially historic Baker Street. People enjoy milling around on Baker Street and taking in the different sights, visiting shops and cafes along the way. Stop in at a local coffeehouse and catch up on local news, or visit the specialty shops where you're sure to find that perfect souvenir or Christmas gift for a loved one.
