Located in historic Steveston Village, the Steveston Tram has close access to public transportation, free parking and cycling routes. Plan to stay in the village, to enjoy the many shops, restaurants and historic points of interest, all within walking distance.
Visitors of all ages will enjoy the playful exhibits representing the life of commuting workers and residents of Steveston in the early 1900s.
Located at the corner of No. 1 Road and Moncton Street, the Steveston Tram building stands on the site of the former Steveston Station, where cannery and fishery workers caught the tram to commute to and from Vancouver. Tram Car 1220 has been beautifully restored and is the largest artefact in the Richmond Museum’s collection.
Visit Steveston Tram to explore Tram Car 1220, one of the last interurban tram cars which serviced the city from 1913-1958. For 55 years, the interurban tram transported people between Steveston to Vancouver, New Westminster, and as far away as Chilliwack on the BC Electric Railway Company line. Step inside the beautifully restored tram, and learn about the communities and the passengers that it serviced – not all of them human!
