Mackin House Museum

Built in the early 1900s, the Mackin House Museum is a historic house located across the street from Coquitlam‘s Mackin Park about 24 km from Vancouver.

THE MUSEUM AND COVID-19

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Mackin House was closed in the spring and summer of last year. The Fraser Mills Train Station and the CPR Caboose were open with limited hours in the summer though, with admission by donation. In the fall Mackin House itself also reopened for tours from Tuesdays to Saturdays.

For the most up-to-date information about the status of the venue see the Mackin House website.

Mackin House

Located in Coquitlam’s historic Maillardville neighbourhood, Mackin House is just across the street from Mackin Park where the Festival du Bois takes place annually in February or March.

Mackin House was home to the General Manager of Fraser Mills, which at the time was the largest mill of its kind in the British Empire.

Expect to spend only a few minutes at Mackin House, perhaps after visiting the Festival du Bois in early spring or on your way somewhere else, like to IKEA for shopping just down the way.

Mackin House is usually open Tuesdays to Fridays from 11 am to 5 pm and Saturdays from 12 to 4 pm (but check the museum’s website first to confirm details). It is closed Sundays, Mondays and statutory holidays (except on Sundays in the summer when it’s open from 12 to 4 pm). Admission is by donation.
