The Historical Village in Burnaby

After paying for your ticket and perusing the site map, walk across the “bridge of time” and be transported to the 1920’s. Buildings in the 10-acre grounds have been carefully replicated for the period and costumed volunteers amble around pulling you into their time. Inside the shops meet more costumed staff in character, most based on historical people related to the store.
