Water bottle refillWashrooms
The Union Bay Museum at the Old Gaolhouse is a community heritage museum operated by the Union Bay Historical Society, located in a historic former jail building on the South Island Highway on Vancouver Island. Union Bay itself has a rich coal-mining and industrial history dating to the late 19th century, making it a notable stop for cyclists exploring the Comox Valley corridor. The unusual gaolhouse setting gives the museum a distinctive character among small-town BC heritage sites.
