Wander 1920s Burnaby at the Village Museum
Thirty-one reconstructed 1920s buildings, a 1912 carousel, and the quiet suspicion you'd actually thrive back then.

Thirty-one reconstructed 1920s buildings, a 1912 carousel, and the quiet suspicion you'd actually thrive back then.
The Burnaby Village Museum has assembled 31 buildings of a reconstructed 1920s town in the green by Deer Lake, staffed it with costumed shopkeepers, kept the print shop running, and installed a beautifully restored 1912 carousel at the centre of it. The effect is less 'educational experience' and more 'wandering into a very committed film set.' It's free in the summer season, which means the main cost is ice cream from the general store and time spent arguing about who would actually survive 1925 (you'd be surprised). The place transforms completely in December for its Festive Village run, if you need a reason to return. Wear comfy shoes, check the seasonal calendar before you go, and let the whole quietly nostalgic thing slow you both down in the best possible way.
