POMO Museum
The POMO Museum, constructed in 1908, was the second railway station established in Port Moody. It followed the 1882 Western Terminus Station, which was demolished in 1961.
The museum is owned and operated by the Port Moody Heritage Society.
Originally designed as a live-in station, the building comprises of two stories and a basement. The main floor serves as the primary public exhibition space, the upper level is used for administrative offices, and the basement houses the museum’s collection storage and washroom facilities.
