Ranching & Rodeos in the Okanagan

Okanagan Heritage Museum
Explore the roots of cattle ranching in the Okanagan Valley and how it shaped the region’s agriculture. Learn about the syilx people’s deep connection with horses long before European settlers arrived and meet the early ranching families who pioneered the industry. Discover how the practice and showcase of ranching and horsemanship skills ultimately led to the Okanagan’s first exciting rodeos.
With a stunning array of images, artefacts, and stories of some true Okanagan characters, Ranching & Rodeos in the Okanagan is the perfect complement to your summer in the valley.
