 The Museum is located
in Mission(see Map), a small
city in the heart of the Fraser Valley with a  rich
history, including being the site of Canada's first train robbery
by the notorious Billy Miner in 1904. The Museum's permanent
displays trace the history of Mission from the first peoples
to live in the area, through the arrival of Father Fouquet and
his establishment of St. Mary's Mission, to the arrival of the
railways and recent developments. Features include special displays
of kitchen, logging and farming artifacts from early settlers,
as well as the famous Western Canada Soap Box Derby. The Museum
offers a wide variety of tours targeted specifically for children,
as well as material for adults. Tour materials are available
in French or English, for more information see our Contact
page. Throughout the year there are a variety of special
events including Antique Evaluations and Lemonade on the porch.
