Very interesting views from a variety of perspectives not just the usual histories of logging mining and exploitation.

Well worth the visit, if only for the chat with the lovely lady on the door! As Brits we shared our love of Heartbeat with her, and she helped us understand the history of the town. Chinese and First Nation history very rich! We also loved doing the Totem Trail in the main streets opposite. Highly recommend!

You can see that even with a tiny (non-existant) paid staff that they've made a valient attempt at trying to tell a more historically accurate account of Duncan's history, especially in their newer 2018-2019 exhibit. Given that it's not particularly representative of the area's current demographic, I wouldn't have learned this history otherwise. However, I was unpleasantly surprised at one of the books in the gift shop being pretty culturally insensitive and the person at the front normalizing this by saying it's a popular book."P.s. I was shocked that the curator position that they're hiring for is only a 3.5 month contract

I love this museum, it's tucked away unto itself, preserving many of the great memories. There are wonderful volunteers who help keep the station going, even in a time where most of the world doesn't take a minute for history. The Cowichan Valley is rich with both Native and European cultures. The museum, which is operated by the historical society, has many wonderful artifacts carefully stored away as well as on display. Check out the museum and also the website for more information, then take some time to bring family and friends for a visit, it's well worth the trip!

I called to check if my purse got turned in. I accidentally left it in the women’s bathroom right beside the museum. The woman there said no and I kindly asked if she could quickly go check as I’m traveling through and was already half an hour away. She said she would check within half an hour an call me back. She never called back and I drove all the way back to find it was gone. So I wasted 2 hours (driving there, looking around, heading back to my destination) when it would have taken 2 minutes to check and get back to me (she wasn’t the only one working there either). I would have just made peace with it if she had checked and told me no.

I only visited once but to my knowledge this is a place to gain knowledge as well as a place for young people to realize what the local environment was like many years ago. We are a tight-knit community but we definitely do not estranged new people. Conversely we encourage new people to learn and choose their own course.

Awesome, it was our second time in Duncan and have enjoyed it again, we saw this time other things which we over viewed last time. Just follow the yellow foot prints on the walkways it brings you in around an hour to all of this fantastic poles, have fun.
