Christmas In The Cabin!

​

The Log Cabin Museum will be open Saturday, December 3rd for our annual Christmas In The Cabin event, as part of the Saanichton Village Association's annual "Christmas In The Village" celebration!

​

​

A favourite Peninsula family tradition, we'll be open between 930am and 1pm for you to drop in for a visit. There will be a fire going, so you can warm up in front of the large fireplace, while the children pick up their own Christmas cookie decorating kit! An enjoyable stop as you make your way around the various stops in the Village.
