This community history collection is the third largest in British Columbia and offers visitors an unparalleled opportunity to see, explore and discover the story of Surrey. The Museum features exhibits of a selection of 5,000 year old stone tools created by the Indigenous Peoples of the area. It also houses the 1881 Town hall, Surrey's first seat of civic government, and displays re-creations of the interiors of turn of the century homes and businesses that will both educate and entertain visitors of all ages.
The Anderson Log Cabin, built in 1882, offers visitors a peek into early pioneer life. Special temporary exhibitions change several times a year, and programs and hands-on activities for all ages are offered.
The collection focuses on historical community records and archival civic records. It contains historic photographs, newspaper clippings, maps, diaries, personal manuscripts, oral history tapes and City reports. A small but diverse reference library is available for research. Copies of local newspapers are available on microfilm. Discover community history through original documents, explore contemporary issues, and hear stories of Surrey's past told in the words of pioneers and long-time residents.
