Old Hastings Mill House Store Museum - Archive

The Old Hastings Mill House and Museum is where the visitor in Vancouver can be transported back in time, where it is possible to see the way people of the past in the city lived, which is now cared for by the women of the First Nation. These women will explain many of the artifacts and how early life in Vancouver was to the visitors of the museum.

Vancouver's first store and oldest building was built in 1865 at the foot of Dunlevy Street in Gastown and moved to this seaside spot in 1930. It's a little wooden structure at the corner of Point Grey Road and Alma Street and is the only building to predate the 1886 Great Fire. The site is now a museum with displays of First Nations artifacts and pioneer household goods.

The museum holds treasures from the past like children’s toys, kitchen items, and tools, which will educate the visitor, along with other items. At the same time, the museum transports them back to the past in a building that was once busiest trade and commerce building near the water.
