Thomas Kilby opened Kilby General Store in 1906. His son, Acton, took over the store in 1922, which is reflected in the era that Kilby Historic Site represents. After a lifetime of collecting memorabilia, Acton turned the store into a museum in 1977.23

Harrison Mills is located at the confluence of the Fraser and Harrison Rivers and suffered many floods, which is why the town had connecting elevated boardwalks between all the homes and buildings. Kilby General Store still has its boardwalks intact, which is a very prominent feature of this historic site. Since dykes now hold back the floodwaters, the unique architecture of Kilby Historic Site reminds visitors and townspeople alike of what this area endured. |
