Preserving the Rich History of the City
Richmond, B.C. has an exciting history that is detailed excellently here at the Richmond Museum. This waterfront city has a diverse past that began with the establishment of industries like fishing, canning and logging. The community of Richmond began collecting artifacts from its history in 1961. Today, these items are part of a vast collection on display permanently at the museum. As well, the museum often hosts temporary and travelling exhibitions, striving to bring awareness to the city’s history. Be sure to stop by the Richmond Museum and revisit the events and people that helped build the area into the modern city it is today.
