About

Step back in time with a visit to Roedde House Museum, the 1893 home of Vancouver’s first bookbinder, Gustav Roedde! On October 8th from 1pm to 4pm we will be celebrating Culture Days 2025 with tours by donation. Our knowledgable docents will lead visitors on tours through this faithfully restored heritage house, sharing tales of life in the early 1900s from the perspective of the Roedde family. Try out a stereoscope, listen to an Amberola record, see human hair porcelain dolls, and snap photos while seated in our parlour chairs- this will be a chance to get up-close to the everyday objects of Victorian life!
