To truly understand British Columbia's rich and diverse history, don't miss the museums in Fort Langley, a colourful, historic village nestled on the banks of the Fraser River.
In 1858, the emerging Western Canadian province was declared a crown colony of Great Britain at the stockade-enclosed fort. The fort, now a National Historic Site complete with costumed interpreters, and the nearby CN Station (a heritage train station) are key Fort Langley historic sites. Local museums offer additional cultural insights.
