History of the Society

 The Society began in 1977 and incorporated in 1980. It is the governing authority of the Pitt Meadows Museum and Archives, which includes both the Old General Store (1886 c.) site and the Hoffmann & Son Machine Shop (1936c) site, both located on Harris Road, South of the C.P.R. tracks. The Museum and Society operate under an annual fee-for-service agreement with the City of Pitt Meadows - Parks and Leisure Services. The Museum's main site, located in the Old General Store is a municipal designated heritage structure owned by the City of Pitt Meadows and is leased to the Museum Society. The Museum's second site, the Hoffmann and Son Machine Shop building, was donated to the Society and the community of Pitt Meadows in October 1999, by siblings Hans and Elfriede Hoffmann.

A meeting to organize a Heritage and Museum Society in Pitt Meadows was held at the Municipal Office on October 24, 1977. A constitution was later drawn up, and the Pitt Meadows Heritage and Museum Society was registered under the Societies Act.
