Chilliwack Museum in the Fraser Valley
The Chilliwack Museum and Archives are run by the Chilliwack Museum and Historical Society. The group has been collecting items of historical interest in the city and its surrounding area since 1958. All artifacts can be admired by the public today.
The Chilliwack Museum and Archives are located in two separate buildings. The museum holds various exhibits and educational programs, whereas the archive houses old photographs, maps, records and other collected information. The two buildings are a five-minute walk from each other and they make for an interesting visit to Chilliwack.
