Heritage Acres

(Attractions - History Museums)

7321 Lochside Dr, Saanich Historical Artifacts Society, Saanichton V8M 1W4 • 250-652-5522

Distance: ~19.826 km from The Fairmont Empress

Description: A 29-acre site devoted to the display of the Saanich Historical Artifacts Society's massive collection, Heritage Acres also includes numerous trails and picnic spots. Original and replica buildings (including a school house, log cabin, blacksmith, mercantile, chapel, boat house and sawmill) depict BC life circa 1900. Artifacts range from small household items to farm machinery; some are housed in the museum building, others are scattered around the property. Sharing the land is the Vancouver Island Model Engineers Club which occasionally offers rides on their scale model trains (call ahead to get the current schedule).
