With already a large number of artefacts in their collection, the museum has added something like 300 more in the past few years. A very well laid out museum, it has even won awards for its exhibitions, most recently for its Land of Thundering Snow exhibition. In 2012 the museum was asked to create a special exhibit on snow research and avalanches for the Virtual Museum of Canada.

As well as displays of artefacts relating to the history of the town, the museum offers exhibits on the cultural origins of Revelstoke, both from the perspective of the native population and from that of the later settlers of Revelstoke and area. Artefact displays encompass the various industries which gave rise to the town, such as the railway, mining and lumbering, as well as affording a peek into the day to day life of the ordinary citizen.

In the well stocked gift shop, one may even buy a book written by the museum, as it has published a few on aspects of local history, the exact number unknown to the writer.
