Lots of history here! The store is well stocked with snacks and gift items. There waa a Easter egg hunt for the little kids. They looked like having alot of fun! We made reservations for the Thanksgiving dinner years ago and on this trip we had the Easter dinner. Again the meal waa wonderful. Highly recommended. We will be back one day. The only downside to this trip was the campground. I remember it being more oriented to tenters but now it feels like a RV park with generators running loudly everywhere. Also no camp host.
We had such a great time here. The Halloween event they put on for the kids was great. Old school trick r treating, scary ghost stories and spooky decorations. You can feed the animals on the farm and the birds are running around free range. We will definitely be back at Christmas
This place was amazing and I'm definitely coming back. The staff were super friendly, warm and welcoming. The museum tour was very interesting. Several types of animals all over the farm, which you can be super close to and interact with.
The area is small, but the museum staff are really friendly and knowledgeable and the farm animals are cool to see. Also, it is quite relaxing sitting in the yard with a coffee or ice cream.
This gem of a place is W O R T H the visit. Ernie at the general store shared so many pieces about the history that I can't really pick a favourite. Maybe the children's shoe one.....or the train station...you'll have to visit to know what I'm talking about. I also love that you can feed the goat and sheep - wished there were a few more than just one to feed.... definitely don't want to overfeed them There are so many little places to discover and wander. Then once you're finished the café has some great food...and the little shop local goodies to buy. Thanks for maintaining an important part of Canadian history.
If you have any interest in the history of the Fraser Valley, this place should be on your bucket list. It's small and a great way to get a view into the past. On the day we were there, there was a really informative and knowledgeable gent on site to explain millions of details and stories about the place and it's past. Great way to spend a couple of hours.
Step back in a 1920's village frozen in time in Harisson Mills. It's an enjoyable stop for the kids where they get to pet and feed goats, sheep, pigs and chickens. The general store is a standout, packed with well-preserved trinkets and tin cans. After your walk-through the village, make sure to stop by the cafe and try their tasty sandwich sets.
Bowl of soup really good. But you've gotta have pie.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
We had the Christmas dinner and enjoyed it very much. It was very festive and the food was tasty and had a good portion size. That included a pass to the museum which was quite enjoyable.
We just had a delightfully unexpected experience at this quaint little spot. The people who work here especially the lovely Chris! clearly really love their jobs and enjoy making it a unique experience for guests. We cooked some delicious bannock over the fire, fed sweet Peppermint the goat and saw some really interesting artifacts from 100 years ago! Highly recommend. Thank you for a nice visit!
