In 1939, the City of Vernon donated a log cabin to a local cross country ski club on Vernon Lake. Pictured at the cabin are Carl Wylie and his wife Flora founders of the club. Vernon Lake was later renamed Sovereign Lake after good citizen and avid skier Bishop Art Sovereign. The ski area has now become a world class destination.

The Downtown Vernon Association has invested considerable resources into the creation of the 27 amazing works of art that grace our downtown buildings. These murals depict the history, culture, scenery, and folklore that made Vernon what it is today.
The mural project was a multi-year collaborative effort that included youth employment, revitalization, and heritage conservation strategies.
