BC Farm Museum — Attraction in Township of Langley

My wife and I go to the Old Town of Langley fairly often. But because of how busy it was on this holiday Monday we had to park ways away and just strolling past this place we decided to have a look inside and we were not disappointed.

Insider all the things that built this province up from nothing. Farming influence and the various things you need to run a household and then build it up to the financial industrial Powerhouse this province is now. What was really nice where all the little items donated by families who grew up here in this province and to show what was like here for average people and what they did day-to-day before television cell phones and social media took over everything.

A special note, being a person who's related to Farmers from the Prairies was all the amazing farm equipment machinery boilers etc. It's really sad though that even though I'm 60, I'm still too young to have worked on a lot of these equipment but I remember some of the case and other tractors my uncle's used at various Farms over the decades. And they were still in use the last time I was at these places

That's sad, they could really use some volunteers to help them out with the steam technology. Very little of this equipment in Canada is running anymore and it's growing noticeably scarce her every year as the people who know this stuff...

I found BC Farm museum in a Google search of things to do in langley. This was a lovely, unique visiting experience! It's a farm museum but also has so Manu antique items that don't necessarily pertain to farming but are so cool to see and learn about. We went first thing when they opened at 10 am and were promptly greeted and introduced to their tomato grader machine and were given a demonstration. They have so many things to look at - including old (and older) washing machines, horse harnesses, tractors, oh so many tractors!, knitting equipment, butter churns, misc garage tools, etc. They also have videos you can watch that demonstrate how some of the items work. We were there about 1.5 hrs, not rushing but also not fully analyzing every item. It was full (of items) but didn't feel crowded. Entry by donation when we visited. Pleasant overall experience. Would recommend if you're interested in these types of items or are just looking for something different to do. They also have a TV on display from decades ago that was on a swivel, that was...

As tourists from Toronto, BC farm museum was not on our list - we hadn’t even heard about it. But it was close to the hotel we were staying at decided to pay a visit with kids.

The admission is free but you can donate (you should - it’s worth it). It’s an amazing museum not just limited to the farm but life in general over a 100 years ago. The staff were super friendly and gave us demonstrations of 100+ year old machinery like egg sorting, tomato sorting, rope making, a piano that plays itself, Maytag washing machine, 400 year old clock, old cameras etc. The scavenger hunt also kept the kids interested throughout. The museum is actually quite big and has a wide variety of farm equipment, household items, carriages and even an airplane.

Overall I’m glad we came here. It’s probably not a place an average tourist would visit, but maybe after reading this review others may want to stop...
