We often take the modern world and its many conveniences for granted. Yet one hundred years ago, the early North Island settlers overcame formidable obstacles every day to survive, and still found time and energy for fun! The Museum at Campbell River invites you to come explore these two dimensions of pioneer life at the drop-in Pioneer Day.

Costumed guides will tell you all about daily pioneer life, then let you try it out. You can wash clothes the hard way, receive an old-fashioned school lesson, and experience the simple joys of pioneer games and toys.

Finally, we will be opening the float house to the public for a limited time, where guests will have the chance to dress up in period clothes and pose for a portrait. This interactive day is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike!

Call 250-287-3103 or email [email protected] for more information. The activities are free with admission. We hope to see you there.
