PoMo Museum, History and railway museum in Port Moody, Canada.
The PoMo Museum is a history and railway museum in Port Moody, housed in a former Canadian Pacific Railway station building. It displays railway artifacts, a 1921 sleeper car, and maintains a heritage garden with plants from around 1910-1912.
The museum was founded in 1969 by the Port Moody Historical Society and moved to the former railway station building in 1978. Relocating to this historic site made it a key place for preserving the region's railway history.
The museum preserves local residents' memories through recorded interviews, documenting their experiences and stories. This collection shows how people in the region lived and worked over time.
The museum features both indoor and outdoor exhibits that visitors can explore at a comfortable pace. It is helpful to visit both areas to get a complete picture of the railway and local history.
In the former telegraph room sits a mail barrel where visitors can send unstamped letters. This continues a tradition started by whalers in the Galapagos Islands.
