Community
displays feature historical events from the local area including
early history (1858 to 1920); a lumber display showing early saw
and shingle mills; a First Nation's display of Salish artifacts
and crafts; and a display of early industrial activities.
A seasonal display booth presents temporary displays for special events like Remembrance Day, Christmas, and Mother's Day and for other themes such as dolls, models and toys.
The
Oral History Project, largely a volunteer-based effort, has the
long-term goal of collecting personal, firsthand accounts of recent
local history from long time residents of Port Moody. This information
will be used to build, and eventually publish, an extensive historical
resource for the community.
