We have launched our 2nd new self-guided historical walking tour featuring the Brighouse District! This free walking tour will bring you back in time to feel the pulse of roaring crowds at the horse racetrack, and to hear the humming busyness of our rich, diverse wetlands. The guide can be downloaded and printed from the museum's website at: http://www.richmondmuseum.ca/events/culture-days/ #RichmondCultureDays #BCCultureDays

Richmond and Vancouver were given an additional year to change over trams and streetcars. Hmm, are you wondering how that worked too?
