Explore Kilby Historic Site
BC’s Museum of Rural Life
Located near the junction of the Harrison and Fraser Rivers, the Kilby Historic Site stands as the only reminder of the once thriving community of Harrison Mills, British Columbia, Canada.
Step back in time and enjoy a leisurely tour of the Kilby Historic Site with its magnificent 1906 General Store Museum. Visitors will view a fascinating gallery of product packaging dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. Don’t miss the intriguing artifacts in the heritage Post Office and Manchester House Hotel; both were an integral part of the Harrison Mills community at the turn of the twentieth century.

We are dog-friendly!
![2022 Dogs 2](https://kilby.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2022-Dogs_2-683x1024.jpg)
Friendly, well-behaved dogs are welcome onsite to explore the grounds, farm, and museum with you! We ask that dogs are kept on leash at all times as we have a working farm and we often let our chickens run free. Dogs are allowed on the ground floor and the main floor of the museum (up the ramp) but we ask that they do not go up the stairs to the top floor, simply because the staircase is too narrow.
If you’d like to have lunch in our cafe, ask our staff if they can serve you in the tea garden or if you can order your lunch ‘to go’ to enjoy onsite at one of our many picnic tables.
