Mounted woodland creature.

Fort Nelson Heritage Museum

This was a nice museum, especially if you like taxidermied animals from the region. There are seven building filled with the history of the area. Well worth a visit, especially since there is not much else around here at mile 300 on the Alaskan Highway.
