cute little by donation museum. Rich history facts about Duncan and the Cowichan Valley
Very fun and educational visit. Great for adults and children. Train was cool as well.
Das Museum ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr informativ. Die Dame am Schalter hat uns alle Fragen gerne beantwortet. Das ist sehr sehenswert. Der Eintritt ist frei, natürlich sind Spenden willkommen.
This museum is very easily spotted at the center of the city, just by the totem poles. It was a very interesting experience for me, seeing all the historical items and details of the history here - from the Japanese immigration, to the first settlers meeting the indigenous people who lived on this land - I was very pleased to see how descriptive and detailed the information presented here was. Admission is by donation, and there are souvenirs at the front desk. The staff working there was also kind and welcoming to visitors. I highly suggest stopping by here to see what the Cowichan Valley museum has to offer; especially if you're a tourist and/or seeing the totems here!
I feel the museum is a bit of a hidden gem, it's small, but well looked after. Have a look inside when you're passing through.
I love this museum, it's tucked away unto itself, preserving many of the great memories. There are wonderful volunteers who help keep the station going, even in a time where most of the world doesn't take a minute for history. The Cowichan Valley is rich with both Native and European cultures. The museum, which is operated by the historical society, has many wonderful artifacts carefully stored away as well as on display. Check out the museum and also the website for more information, then take some time to bring family and friends for a visit, it's well worth the trip!
Well worth the visit, if only for the chat with the lovely lady on the door! As Brits we shared our love of Heartbeat with her, and she helped us understand the history of the town. Chinese and First Nation history very rich! We also loved doing the Totem Trail in the main streets opposite. Highly recommend!
my family have a very good trip in Duncan.
