Parksville Museum & Archives
This Park, started in 1983 by the District
69 Historical Society, later changed to Parksville and District
Historical Society, displays a number of heritage buildings from the
time of the first settlers in the area. The artifacts which decorate
these buildings illustrate the lives of these settlers.
The Englishman River
Building, built in 1988, houses the Museum and the Archives.
The Museum
contains exhibits related to the lives and activities of early settlers,
residents, organizations and businesses.
The Archives collects material of historical and cultural value which
illustrate the lives of early settlers and the history of the area
encompassing (Scholl) School District 69, which includes Parksville, Errington,
Coombs, Hilliers, French Creek and Nanoose Bay. Significant holdings are the records
of individuals, families, businesses and organizations. The holdings
also include a large photograph collection; map collection; paintings
and prints; oral history tapes; video tapes and films. Reference
materials include a newspaper collection and clipping file; published
local histories; and biographical notes.
The Park is located on the the south end of Parksville at the
junction of Highway 19A and Franklin Gull Rd. (Stop light corner),
adjacent to the Tourist Information Centre. Access and parking at the
