Cold War Bunker Tour

Step beneath the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery on November 6, 2026, for a guided tour of a restored Cold War bunker. This unique local event offers an intriguing look at the spaces, objects, and preparations shaped by an era of global tension. Visitors will explore historical artifacts while learning about the measures taken to create a sense of normalcy during the Cold War. The tour offers more than a glimpse into the past—it reveals how communities responded to uncertainty, adapted to changing realities, and preserved everyday routines. For Nelson residents and visitors alike, the Cold War Bunker Tour is a memorable way to connect with local heritage. It’s also a great opportunity to discover another layer of the community’s story and share the experience with neighbours, friends, or out-of-town guests.
