Holiday Teas a Success

Thanks to everyone for visiting us this month for our holiday teas. They were a great success and we will certainly plan them again next year - weather permitting.

Please note, there are no more teas scheduled for December. If you just can't wait a whole year, come see us Mother's Day 2011 for our Tea on the Train.

We hope you had a Merry Christmas and wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Holiday Tea is Back!

This December bring your family for some old fashioned holiday fun at the Port Moody Station Museum. We'll be serving tea and hot cocoa on our 1920s train car on Sunday, Dec. 5th, 12th and 19th from 1-3pm. Enjoy watching the festive holiday lights on the station or listening to classic holiday music while cozying up to a hot drink and sweet treat. $5 per person.

No reservations required.

For more information, email pmmuseum@telus.net or call 604-939-1648.

No Holiday Tea this Year

Because our train is difficult to keep warm, we have decided to discontinue our annual Holiday Tea event. We hope to have something new and exciting planned for next year. Until then, stay warm and have a happy holiday!

New Christmas Display

Come by the Museum this December to see our Christmas in the 40s display. Complete with 1940s Christmas music and a functioning model train, it will bring back memories for older generations and delight younger ones.
