Experience The Past
Marge McDougall
Marge McDougall was a gifted portrait artist whose work documented the people of the Mackenzie region, including the Tse’khene First Nation. Though her art once reached galleries as far away as Paris, it remains rooted in the valley — preserving the human stories that shaped our community.
Animals of the Valley
Discover the diverse wildlife that calls the Parsnip Valley home. From majestic moose and bears to smaller forest and wetland creatures, this collection highlights the region’s natural heritage and the vital role these animals have played in shaping life in the North.
Artifacts of the Past
Explore tools, household items, and personal belongings that tell the story of Mackenzie’s early residents and the valley’s Indigenous communities. Each artifact offers a glimpse into the ingenuity and resilience of those who lived and worked in the valley before us.

Artist
Marge McDougall
The Mackenzie & District Museum collections contain 35 original paintings by Marge McDougall. The purchase was made possible by grants from the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #273 Mackenzie. Three additional paintings were donated to the museum in April 2016.
Marge Donovan (nee Johnson) 1900 – 1980 married Roy McDougall in Prince George 06 June 1940. She took up painting the Tse’khene people primarily to relieve boredom. Marge is not a well known artist in North America, but art collector Mr. Van Voorst Vader sold a number of her paintings through his outlet in Paris, France. Marge gave many of her paintings to family and friends.
