Om
Raske fakta: Museet ligger i en tidligere jernbanestasjon fra 1912 som en gang forbandt Vancouver med USAs grense. Over 10 000 fotografier og gjenstander sporer byens forvandling fra en søvnig sommerferiested til en pendlerhub.
Høydepunkter: Gå inn i den originale billettluken fra 1912, hvor messingkassa fortsatt står som om stasjonsbetjenten nettopp har gått et øyeblikk. Du kan åpne skuffer fylt med hundre år gamle rutetabeller, håndskrevne telegrammer og konduktørhatter som lukter av gammel seder og støv.
Insidertips
- 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.
