The owners are not Chinese, but this is an amazing and accurate museum about Chinese history in BC. A retired woman personally manages and operates it and she showed us around and told us about the background of the museum. She felt compelled to preserve the history of Chinese workers in the area and started this museum about 4 years ago. You can tell she is very passionate about this. It is a small museum, but packed with a wealth of history and information. As a Chinese person born and raise in Canada, I'm deeply impressed by and grateful for a place like this that celebrates Chinese contribution to Canada, showcases Chinese history, and reminds people of how the treatment of Chinese immigrants in Canada have been and transformed over the last century. I came with my parents and it was a fun throwback for them. They recognized a lot of the items and taught me about them. I didn't know about most of them and learned a lot! Some of the artifacts are sourced from Lytton, but most are collected from all around the region. The museum has a research centre downstairs (not open to public) where they dedicate time to learning more about artifacts they find and restore them. I think it's really amazing. 10/10 I want to bring my future kids here when I make them so they can learn about their heritage!

Great little private museum to learn about Chinese culture in the Lytton area. The owner is quite passionate to preserve Chinese history for the future generations. Entry by donation and highly recommended to keep this place going for the future generation.

Surprising and awesome historical museum in the tiny village of Lytton! You learn a lot about the history of Chinese migrants and their role in the railways construction. The lady who dedicated her retirement to build this museum is charming and a priceless source of knowledge. When you're traveling on this scenic road chances are you're more a nature lover than a museum seeker. But honestly, we felt that the roadtrip in the Fraser Valley would have been meaningless without the visit of this museum.

A little gem in the Canyon. A must stop to learn about the Chinese History in the Canyon.

Pretty new museum, a bit small, but rich in history and wonderful artifacts from Chinatowns in the area from the Gold Rush and the CPR era. Curator also offered much information on the history of the Chinese in Lytton.
