Day 1: the essentials
Start with the key stops. Day one covers the main sights in an order that doesn't waste steps.
Hedley Museum
Hedley Museum is the cultural anchor of the day. Museums reward an unhurried midday visit; pick the rooms that interest you rather than trying to see everything.
Day 2: go deeper
With day one covered, day two is for the town's other side: markets, neighborhoods, and the stops that didn't fit day one.
Copper Mountain Fire Memorial
Don't skip Copper Mountain Fire Memorial. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Hedley War Memorial
Hedley War Memorial is one of those Princeton landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
