Oldest (1933) purpose-built log cabin museum in BC, on original site and still operating! Run by npf SaanichPioneerSociety, dedicated to SaanichPeninsula history. Find us on Saturdays 1-4pm at 7910 Polo Park, Saanichton, 1blk north of the Prairie Inn.https://bsky.app/profile/logcabinmuseum.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/logcabinmuseum.bsky.social/post/3mug7kz2fok2nWe’re sad to learn of the loss of the historic Mclver House, which stood for almost 140yrs, in @langleytownship.bsky.social. The Township Archives advise it was built by Murdoch & Annie McIver between 1887 & 1890.
