Small Group Tour by Appointment
What it actually looks like
What the children do
Museum curators show small groups what it was like to attend the Metchosin Schoolhouse between 1872 and 1914. Visitors use a dip pen for cursive writing, get instruction on how to work a button spinner, and have the museum displays interpreted for them. The schoolhouse holds 12 visitors at a time. The Pioneer Museum along the road can be seen the same day or booked separately, and the site says a second day carries a cost without saying how much.
Gather in one small room, try writing with a dip pen and ink, work a button spinner on a string, and listen while a curator explains the displays.
Good to know
The schoolhouse is fully wheelchair accessible and holds 12 visitors at a time. No price is published for a small group tour and the months it runs are not stated, so it is worth asking.
