Experience life in the 1920s. A traditional BC Electric Railway tram stop
village has been created with a combination of heritage and replica buildings on
a 10 acre site.
Period costumed staff and volunteers welcome visitors and give demonstrations
in the homes, businesses and shops.
Be sure to take in the elegance of the Interurban #1223 and the interactive
tram exhibit. An exciting must for every visitor is a whirl on the fully
restored historic 1912 CW Parker Carousel.
Amenities include an ice cream parlour which offers a menu for light meals
and snacks, picnic tables, and a gift shop.
