We had a tour from Nik today. He was such an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable surrounding Victoria history in general, and especially concerning the Ross Bay Villa. There has been so much period-accurate work done. It is all volunteer run and you can tell how passionate everyone is in the incredible details they have put in. Go check this place out!!
A unique historic house museum. Well worth dropping in for one of the Saturday guided tours. Just $5.
We went to the Ross Bay Villa for the Grand BC Confederation Day Garden Party to celebrate the 147th anniversary of BC entering the Canadian Confederation.
It's a small historic home lovingly restored with thousands of hours of volunteer's efforts.
Don't miss this place if you're interested in local, BC, or national history!
What an amazing restoration by a group of volunteers! Well worth the visit to see what they did and hear stories about those that used to live there.
Well done! A meticulously restored 1860's heritage home by a talented and ambitious group of volunteers and professionals alike. Every Victorian should visit and appreciate this treasure. Keep up the good work.
