Port Moody's POMO Museum | Vancouver's Best Places

Located in the old train station building near Rocky Point Park, the POMO (formerly known as the Port Moody Station) Museum showcases the history of the area.

The POMO Museum (which changed its name on June 24th, 2023) is one of a number of similar museums in the Lower Mainland. A small free train museum in the City of Vancouver is the Engine 374 Pavilion in Yaletown. The largest train museum in Western Canada, meanwhile, is the Railway Museum of BC in Squamish.

Port Moody’s Museum

The Port Moody station is well over 110 years old and was the second railway station to be built in the area. The first station was built in 1882 and 26 years later, in 1908, Port Moody received its second train station. The POMO Museum itself is located within what was formally one of the original two train stations in the town. The museum doesn’t just focus on the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway, however. It also covers the history of Port Moody from the first Indigenous settlers in the area up to the 20th century.

Some of the highlights of the museum include a real 1921 passenger train car, an outdoor display of typical World War 1 trenches, and outdoor gardens.
