About
Exhibits look at Gabriola's past, from its natural landscape to the families, work and community life that have shaped the island over the years. It is a good place to start for visitors who want to understand the island beyond its beaches, trails and sandstone shoreline, and for newer residents getting to know their home.
The society also keeps archives of records, photographs and documents. These are available on request, so researchers and anyone tracing family or property history should get in touch ahead of time to arrange a visit.
The museum is open Thursday to Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm. Its online gift shop offers items connected to the island and the museum, and purchases help support the society's work.
As a community-based society, the museum relies on members, volunteers and donations. Locals who want to get involved can contact the society to learn about membership and volunteering.
