Roedde House Preservation Society

The Roedde House Preservation Society is dedicated to the preserving, maintaining and enhancing of the Roedde House Museum and to presenting heritage exhibits and programs reflecting the early history of Vancouver for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Slogan: Preserving the Past for the Future

Since the Museum’s official opening in May, 1990, the Roedde House Preservation Society has run Roedde House as a threefold facility:

1) A museum with guided tours, including an active schools program,

2) A venue for music and other entertainment,

3) A rental facility for small receptions.

The planning, coordination and overall management is carried out by the Board of Directors and the House Manager. Financial support comes from the Provincial Government in the form of an annual Direct Access grant, revenue from rentals, donations, admission and membership fees. As well, over the years, specific projects have been possible with the help of foundations and private sector funding.
