British Columbia's ranching industry has crossed two centuries and it is older than the province. Cattlemen and cowboys truly won the west. The Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin is dedicated to preserving and promoting this ranching heritage. It is the only museum in BC to focus on ranching and rodeo, and it honours both the cowboys of the past and the present. The museum is home to the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame, maintained by the
BC Cowboy Heritage Society and a special display area features photos, biographies and memorabilia of the province's outstanding cowboys.
