The ghost of Julia Askew, daughter of one of the first female settlers, will visit our town of Chemainus from 10 AM to 3 PM on a five days a week basis during July and August.
Join her for an insightful historical tour to gain a glimpse of how Chemainus became “The Little Town That Did”.
The Askews bring the stories of the murals to life.
Discover how British settlers seeking fortune made their way, and how the harshness of early pioneering life took its toll. Learn how the resilience of early Chemainus residents – including Mrs. Askew – carried them through tough economic times and both World Wars. Delve into the mystery and rich culture heritage that make Chemainus what it is today!
Book this tour at the Chemainus Visitor Center available most days between 10 AM and 2.15 PM.
