About us
Located in one of Canada’s oldest wood built Canadian Pacific Railway stations established in 1893, the Agassiz-Harrison Museum & Visitor Centre is situated in the heart of beautiful downtown Agassiz, British Columbia.
Agassiz is a small, friendly agricultural community nestled under the watchful eye of magnificent Mt. Cheam. Our community is known for its country living and endless outdoor activities.
