The Craigflower Manor and Craigflower Schoolhouse are recognized as National Historic Sites of Canada. They are situated in View Royal, British Columbia, and Saanich, near Victoria. These sites were commissioned by the Hudson's Bay Company in the 19th century to provide education and lodging for their employees. Today, they serve as museums that offer insights into the colonial history of Victoria.

Craigflower Schoolhouse: A Historical Museum

The Craigflower Schoolhouse was converted into a museum in 1931. It was managed by a local service club until 1975, when the provincial Historical Parks board acquired it. The board undertook the restoration of the structure, preserving its historical integrity. Today, it stands as a testament to the educational practices of the past.
