The BC Farm Museum, on King Street in Fort Langley, tells the story of the pioneers who farmed the Fraser Valley. It is run entirely by volunteers, and the museum’s own site describes it as a place where the past meets the present. As of this writing, it is closed for the winter, so this one is a spring and summer outing.

What is inside

The museum’s site lists a long run of things to look at. The pioneer artifacts include heavy horse equipment and an area for the BC Heavy Horse Breeders Association, coal oil lamps, a Type 1 Curta Calculator, and a mezzanine display on beekeeping, dairy and laundry. Bigger pieces include a Minnesota Chief threshing machine, an Oakalla Prison farm wagon, a sail reaper and a Skyway Tiger Moth. There is also the Fred Ott Collection, tractors and steam engines (an Avery 6 Cylinder Model C is named), and transportation exhibits that include a vintage stationary engine and a First World War cavalry saddle.

The site also links to an events page, which is worth checking before you plan a trip.

Planning a visit

Admission is by donation, so the amounts above are suggestions. The museum’s admission page says caregivers, teachers and teaching assistants are free for group visits. Because the site does not post regular daily hours, we suggest calling ahead. In the closed season, the page says the museum may open some Mondays for work crews, 9:30am to 2:30pm, and visitors should call first.

A little history

The Heritage Society’s Fort Langley walking tour says the museum was founded in 1958 and opened in 1966, and describes its collection as the largest of pioneer and agricultural artifacts in the province.

Make a day of it

The village has plenty nearby. The Langley Centennial Museum and the Fort Langley National Historic Site are both in Fort Langley, and our heritage sites page lists buildings to see on foot. Check our events page for what is on.
