Nestled on a one-acre site in the heart of Pemberton, the Pemberton Museum offers a unique collection of heritage buildings and artifacts that tell the story of the region’s early settler days. The site features four original hand-hewn log homes, a General Store, a trapper’s cabin, two modern museum buildings, and a charming one-room schoolhouse — perfect for intimate gatherings, workshops, and special events.

For information about booking the schoolhouse or the entire site for your special event, please email us at [email protected].

The museum is open to the public Tuesday to Saturday starting June 3 until the end of October. Visit our website or follow us on social media for updates on special events and any closures.

Here's how:
1. Drop your bag at the Return-It Express depot as usual.
2. In the Return-It app, search for Muse Pemberton.

Pemberton artist and author Natasha Louise (Art by Natasha Louise) joined us on the museum grounds to read from her debut children's book, Riv's Heart of Coal.

Watching a Pemberton story read aloud by the person who made it, outdoors and surrounded by neighbours, is exactly the kind of afternoon we love to gather here.

Thank you, Natasha, for bringing Riv to life for us!

You can pre-order the book now by visiting the link in Natasha's bio!
