The Osoyoos Museum Society (OMS) was established in 1963 for the express purpose of collecting, protecting, preserving and providing access to artifacts and information regarding the history of the Osoyoos area, the OMS operates the Osoyoos & District Museum and Archives to achieve this goal. 

​

In 2011, the community approved a referendum to acquire an existing property on Main Street across from Town Hall - a solid, poured concrete building with 1,100 square meters (12,000 square feet) of display/storage area and a great deal of potential. The museum took possession of the building January 1, 2020 and after extensive renovations official opened to the public on June 17, 2023.
