The O'Keefe Ranch is a historic site in the Okanagan Valley just outside Vernon BC. The buildings are open from May to August. Please check their website for various openings at other times of the year.

I've visited this ranch several times over the years. It's a great place to visit. On this occasion the buildings were not open but visitors are permitted to roam around the site and enjoy the location anyway. The dining room was open however.

Cornelius O'Keefe arrived in the area in 1867 and built the church, general store, post office and other buildings. In the 1880's he moved his family from a log cabin into the mansion. This home was opened as a heritage site in 1967.

The City of Vernon now owns the property. It is often used for weddings and receptions. Schools and tours can book a time outside of regular summer hours.
