Went to
Burnaby Village Museum today. Right now is so-called "Heritage Christmas". Not only many holiday lights, the homes are also decorated in the Christmas theme.
Quite busy today, in fact, I wasn't able to park at the museum parking.
Rather I parked across the street in the furthest parking lot of Hart House Restaurant (closed at the time).

A collection of homes from the early 1900s, where Burnaby was a logging town and a train station.
A school, a few stores, bakery, a car mechanic shop, a Chinese herb shop, a bank, a press. A real cafe that sells food.
A guy at the tooling barn is demonstrating making an iron spear.
There's a nice train here, not running, but kept in pristine condition for visitors to go in.
I was told that there's a sister train carriage in Langley, which runs.
It's a free museum, but not sure why that I never visited.
It's small, but a nice stroll on a sunny day.
