In 2020, I had a chance to do a lot of historic research for the City of Selkirk for their new online museum and archive collection. This series is a summary of some of the interesting buildings and places that I found there.
For more information about the city's historic buildings and other places, see the link above. For my photos of Selkirk, including a number of building tours, see my Flickr album.
If you want to try someplace new or an urban walk, definitely check out Selkirk!
