Explore Family Histories
A key feature of the Museum is its online family tree collection, a growing archive that traces lineages, connections, and community history.
These interactive family trees help preserve knowledge for future generations while giving visitors insight into the people and families who continue to shape Serpent River First Nation today.
Community members are invited to contribute stories, photos, and historical information as part of this evolving heritage project.

The Serpent River Trading Post is also home to a dedicated Art Gallery featuring Indigenous artwork created by talented community members and regional artists.
These works celebrate culture, creativity, and storytelling through painting, carving, beadwork, textiles, and mixed media, offering visitors an opportunity to experience contemporary Indigenous expression while honouring traditional forms.
The gallery provides a rotating showcase of local talent and serves as a space where culture, history, and artistic voice come together.
