Join us on an unforgettable journey through the Discovery Islands, where the past meets the present and the wildlife is as fascinating as the stories.
As you keep an eye out for local wildlife, including whales, sea lions, and eagles, our Museum Guide will entertain you with captivating stories of the people who have called this region home. From the indigenous peoples who first inhabited the islands to the settlers who braved the wilderness, every story is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who came before us.
Museum at Campbell River respectfully acknowledges the Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ First Nation, on whose traditional lands we work to preserve, interpret and share the collective human history of North Vancouver Island. The Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ First Nation is comprised of the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum and Kwiakah First Nations. Our closest neighbors are the Coast Salish Xwemalhkwu, Klahoose and K’ómoks First Nations.
These nations have close connections to the land where Campbell River is located today.
