Teave
Kiired faktid: Muuseum asub 1912. aasta endises raudteejaamas, mis kunagi ühendas Vancouveri USA piiriga. Üle 10 000 foto ja eseme jälgivad linna muutumist unisest suvekuurordist pendeldajate sõlmpunktiks.
Esiletõstmised: Astu sisse algsesse 1912. aasta piletikabiini, kus messingist kassaaparaat seisab endiselt, justkui oleks jaamaagent hetkeks kõrvale astunud. Sa võid lahti tõmmata sajandivanuste rongisõidugraafikute, käsitsi kirjutatud telegraafisõnumite ja konduktori kübaratega täidetud sahtleid, mis lõhnavad vana seedri ja tolmu järele.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Arrive early on summer weekends to snag street parking before the beach crowd fills every spot by 10 a.m.
- Ask the volunteer docents to show you the hidden model train setup in the back room, it's a highlight most visitors miss.
- Pair your visit with a 5-minute walk down to the White Rock Pier for ocean views after your indoor exploration.
- Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket, the museum's original wood framing means it can be drafty even on sunny days.
