Like the Chicago Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Home in Springfield, Town of Bodie in California, and the likes. For someone new to museums, this may be a good place to get started and get immersed in history. I was looking forward to the ww2 airplane displayed when you google the museum but it was not there the time I visited. Lots of the pieces are relatively new, maybe 70's, 80's. I just finished binge watching 6 seasons of Downton Abbey so I was feeling nostalgic. I appreciated the early 20th century automobile on display. They have some of the early cameras, cash registers. It looks more extensive online than it actually is. What I appreciated the most is the memorial of fallen Canadian soldiers during ww1. I still encourage people to see this to catch a glimpse of the old Surrey and it's free!

On exhibit at the museum during our visit was an up close and personal view of various modes of connections in celebration of Canada's 150th birthday. Some displays welcomed personal input.

The staff was also very willing to share added tidbits about the exhibits and the town. The location of this museum is ideal, in lovely downtown Port Coquitlam, and is steps away from the cenotaph, city hall and Port Coquitlam's Gathering Place. It is also a short distance from a beautiful walking path along the river. We spent a very pleasant afternoon here. This quaint museum is well worth a visit!

Being a fan of Burnaby Heritage Museum, I never knew about this place until my family told me about it. I came here with my parents, and there were no other visitors other than my family during the entire tour of the house. Tracy, the tour guide, was super friendly and helpful with the tour and I was able to stop and ask any questions during the tour. I loved how Tracy did a vintage vacuum demonstration as I haven't seen anything like it before. I loved the fact that visitors could go upstairs and see the entire house! Many of the items in the home were original from the original owners, though some were purchased or donated from other sources.

Irving House was built in 1865, back when New Westminster was striving to be the capital of British…read moreColumbia. It was lived in by family members up to about 1950, when it was sold to the city of New Westminster, and turned into a historical centre. Thus, if you're a history buff, love antiques (especially Victorian-era pieces), or ever watched the show "America's Castles", you should take a tour of Irving House. The house was built in high style by Captain Irving, a man who made a lot of money in the California, Alaska, and BC Gold Rush, and virtually poured it into the house. The architectural details of the house are interesting and well explained by the costumed guides. Since I was practically the only visitor at the time, I pretty much got my own personal tour. According to them, all the furniture and pieces displayed in the house are authentic to the period - no reproductions (except for some fake food in the kitchen, perhaps). Many belonged to the Irving family and their descendants; others were donated. The house is currently decorated, Victorian-style, for Christmas. Lots of garlands, an amazing Christmas dinner setting, and a beautiful little Christmas tree. Those into old-fashioned decorations should check it out. Legend has it too, that the house is haunted by none other than Captain Irving himself. At the very least, you can see the bed he reportedly died in, and it's one enormous piece of furniture. My guide demurred on confirming the story that an indentation of a body can sometimes be seen in the bedcovers. I saw nothing on my visit, though. In any case, it is New Westminster's oldest surviving home, and thus probably one of the oldest homes in the Vancouver area. It's a wonderful glimpse into what life was like in the early years of British Columbia, if you were high society folk. Admission is by donation, so it's affordable even for writers to visit.
