Maple Ridge Museum & Archives

Culture and First Nations History

The Maple Ridge Museum is housed in the 1907 manager's home for the Port Haney Brick and Tile Company, which operated until 1977. After demolition of the brick works, the land and two remaining buildings were donated to the City by the Baynes family for a park. The main floor tells the story of the Katzie First Nation and the pioneer settlement period, as well as industry and displays of household goods. On the lower level of the museum is a late 1920s era model railway diorama showing the strong influence of the CPR on the area's growth plus the role of railway logging.
