Cumberland Museum & Archives
The Cumberland Museum and Archives is a community history museum on Vancouver Island that chronicles the diverse stories of Cumberland's coal mining heritage, its multicultural workforce, and the social and political struggles that shaped the region. Founded in 1969 and operated by a non-profit historical society, it houses permanent and rotating exhibitions alongside a community research library and digital photograph archive. Cumberland is a celebrated cycling destination — particularly for mountain biking — making this a natural cultural stop for touring cyclists passing through the Comox Valley.
This place is in the traditional territory of the K’ómoks, Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ, ɬaʔamɩn gɩǰɛ (Tla’amin), We Wai Kai, and Wei Wai Kum.
