The Keremeos Museum building was originally a BC Provincial Police office and jail located in Keremeos Center, which was approximately three kilometres north of the present village. Two men named Irwin and Day built it in 1907.


The building was moved to its present site in 1917 using horses as motive power. The BC Provincial Police used this building until they became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1950. The RCMP continued to use the site until their new building at the top of the hill was completed on the 2nd January 1959.
