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.
