A great place to learn about the history of the area and has a great farmers market where fresh local produce is abundant in the summer months.

History Buff? The Craig Heritage Park & Museum takes you back to Parksville's history (open from mid-May to late September) with its heritage buildings including an early pioneer's log home. Be sure to visit the Coombs General Store which began its existence in 1911. The store is much like it was 100 years ago with wood oil floors and Coca Cola memorabilia. Stop in for 25 cent candy and a warm hello from Dale Cartwright, the world’s friendliest store keeper. The Coombs Agricultural Fall Fair began in 1913 so there is always a lot to celebrate. The Fair is usually the 2nd weekend in August.

In 1975, through the concern of a few local families the Knox Heritage Church was saved from demolition. The city of Parksville provided land to the Society and the Church was moved to the newly name Craig Heritage Park in 1983. The arrival of the church heralded the beginning of the museum.
