Approaching the Past - Roedde House Museum
The final Approaching the Past - Vancouver event of the 2015-2016 season took place on Wednesday March 2, 2016 at the historic Roedde House Museum located in Vancouver's West End. The museum is a late-Victorian home in the Queen Anne revival style built in 1893 for the family of Gustav Roedde, the city's first bookbinder. It has been faithfully restored to reflect the day-to-day life of a middle class, immigrant family at the turn of the last century. The museum offers hands-on activities for students which support the Grade 4 and 5 Social Studies and Language Arts and Grade 6 and 7 Language Arts curricula. Guided tours by experienced docents enhance the downloadable “Roedde House Museum: Windows to the Past,” which is a complementary curriculum in both English and French. More information about the museum is available on its website.
