Nestled in the heart of the Pemberton Valley on the traditional and unceded territory of the Lil’wat and St’át’imc Nations, the museum invites you to step back in time and explore the stories that have shaped our region. Since opening in 1982, we have been dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing Pemberton’s rich heritage.
There is always something happening at the museum. Stay up-to-date with the Pemberton + District Museum + Archives Society.
The Pemberton Museum has over 2,000 artifacts, 2,000 photographs and over 20 meters of archival and reference materials that have been collected since 1982.
The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from June to October each year. Please double-check the hours of operation for current hours, which may vary seasonally or during special events. We are usually closed on Tuesdays following a long weekend.
We’re easy to reach! The Museum is located in the heart of downtown Pemberton at 7455 Prospect Street.
Only service animals are permitted inside the museum to protect our historic buildings and artifacts. However, we welcome pets in our outdoor areas, provided they remain on a leash.
Admission to the Pemberton Museum is by donation, with a suggested contribution of $5 per guest. Your presence is what counts most, whether or not you’re able to contribute.
Please note that certain special events may require a ticket and could cost more than $5.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, wheelchair and stroller accessibility on our site is limited. However, we are committed to improving access and inclusivity. Our newer schoolhouse building, used for museum events and venue rentals, has a ramp, providing greater accessibility. We continue to prioritize creating a space that can be enjoyed by all visitors and appreciate your understanding as we work towards this goal.
