PENNY: Found Memories

Dates: July 10 - September 30 2022

PENNY: Found Memories presents the story and history of the small industry community of Penny, BC. Penny is located approximately 130km east of Prince George along the Fraser River. The community developed as a result of two main industries present in the region: railway and forestry. Penny no longer thrives as a hub of industry however; the memories and rich history of this small community remain.

Come explore Penny: Found Memories to discover what a small industry community was like through the experiences of industry and the stories of Penny. Watch the video of how Penny Station was moved to Prince George, and listen to the voices of Penny residents as they reminisce on their time living in a small industry town. Discover the kids’ section with coloring sheets, a scavenger hunt and an operating semaphore.
