Feature Exhibitions

Hooser Textile Studio and Library
Explore the age-old traditions of spinning, weaving, and other crafts through demonstrations, hands-on activities, special events, lectures and programs for adults and children throughout the year.

The Studio houses several looms, including a rare working Jacquard loom, sometimes called “the first computer”. Volunteers will be happy to share their skills and let visitors of all ages try their hands at spinning, weaving and other fibre arts.

Find out more about these fascinating crafts in the Hooser Library, which holds a wide collection of books and patterns, all previously owned by Surrey weaver Honey Hooser.
Hours: Tuesdays-Thursdays, 1:30pm-5:30pm, Saturdays, 10:00am-5:00pm


Anderson Cabin
Built c. 1872 by Eric Anderson, this typical pioneer shelter is the oldest remaining pioneer-era home in Surrey. Imagine what life was like for the early settlers as they cleared the forests of Surrey.




Cenotaph
This memorial to war veterans, named 'Kneeling in Remembrance' was refurbished with the addition of a bronze statue of a soldier, dressed in full WWI battle gear and insignia of the local BC 47th Battalion. Originally built in 1921 and situated beside the 1912 Municipal Hall, it was later moved before returning to the Heritage Square between the Surrey Museum and 1912 Hall (now the Surrey Archives) in 2005.
