About Mackin House Museum:

Mackin House Museum (operated by Coquitlam Heritage Society) is centered around one of the oldest houses in Coquitlam - Mackin House, having been built in 1909 for the Sales Manager of Fraser Mills, Henry Mackin.

Today, Mackin House Museum hosts exhibits, events, and tours dedicated to showcasing the multifaceted history and culture of the city of Coquitlam. In addition to Mackin House Museum, Coquitlam Heritage Society also operates a the Fraser Mills Train Station and 1970s Caboose located next door that visitors can explore when they stop by.

We’re located at 1116 Brunette Avenue, and welcome guests five days a week.
