Love anything historical, the passion of those who work there is obvious. Read about Irving house in aVancouver ghost stories book and had to go!

The volunteers who tour you around this historic house have good knowledge of the subject matter and show a lot of enthusiasm. There are a lot of interesting things to see in this house and much of the original decor has been restored or is intact. A must-see if you are in New Westminster.

I found this house on accident, on another website. I like visiting old houses, and I thought it would be interesting to learn a bit about the pre modern Vancouver.This house was beautiful, both on the outside, and on the inside.We got lucky, and it was just me, my cousin, and the tour guide, so she really took her time, and gave us a more thorough tour, and answered questions. Tour lasted about 45 minutes.A great thing about this house is that it's FREE, though donations are accepted, at the museum. Me and my cousin gave a donation of $5, but we should've given more. It's really worth it.What I loved most about the museum, is that you can film and photograph everything, for no charge. If you're looking for a bit of history in the Vancouver area, this is a great place to come.Most attractions in Vancouver are really expensive, so you can save yourself a ton of money, by visiting this house, and the adjacent museum.They're always looking for volunteers as well. If my trip was longer, I would do it.

I had a personal tour of the house by a young chap and lady who were very friendly and informative. The house oozes with age and there is a lot of old furniture and other interesting items such as one of the first telephones in town. They gave me a chance to work the old handheld vacuum cleaner. It was an enjoyable tour and one of the highlights of New Westminster along with the Samson V paddlewheeler museum near River Market.

Took my kids to Irving House in the summer & we really enjoyed listening to the stories about the Irving family from the guide dressed in period costume. The kids learned that New Westminster was the first capital city of British Columbia and not Victoria. The guide was very patient with allowing us to ask questions and giving the opportunity to examine artifacts more closely. Warning though that the guides will wait until there is a large enough group and that it is by donation
