Just visible below the trees within the park is The Old Hastings Mill Store its Vancouver's oldest building, one a few to survive the fire of 1886 which ravaged the downtown core. After years of serving the Burrard Inlet, the Hastings Mill Store building was moved by barge in 1930 to its current location near Point Grey in Pioneer Park just off English Bay. Filled with thousands of artifacts dating from before the establishment of the settlement of Vancouver and more recent donations, the Old Hastings Mill Store Museum is a great place to check out some interesting photos, items and keepsakes of settlers and new immigrants to the city. Run by the Native Daughters of British Columbia, this informative and interesting heritage experience is great for locals and visitors to the city.
