SUPPORT HERITAGE ACRES
Keep the Tractors Running and the History Alive
Heritage Acres survives because people like you choose to keep it going. Every dollar restores a piece of Vancouver Island's story — and keeps it open for the next generation to discover.

WHY WE NEED YOU
130+ Years of History. Zero Government Funding.
Heritage Acres is entirely community-supported and volunteer-run. We don't receive operating funding from any level of government. Entry is by donation — which means the 29 acres, 30,000+ artefacts, and working steam engines you see here exist only because visitors and donors choose to keep them running.
