Brutus, the Bear
For bear enthusiasts, “Brutus,” the Kimberley Heritage Museum’s beloved life-sized taxidermied mount and visitor greeter, awaits new guests at the museum’s location in downtown Kimberley above the library. Twelve-year-old Danny Holmes killed Brutus on the Thanksgiving weekend of 1986 during a hunting expedition with family and friends when the 500 pound, seven-foot-tall grizzly charged their party. Holmes was recognized as a hero who saved the lives of those around him and his own.
