Years of Promise:
White Rock 1858 -1958 was commissioned in 1999 by the White Rock Museum + Archives Society, with the endorsement and support of the White Rock City Council.
The 378 page, hardcover book is packed full of glossy black and white photographs. With an easy to use thematic format, the book traces the growth and development of White Rock, from its days as a tiny seaside community through to incorporation.
Years of Promise is now available in the Museum Gift Shop for $44.99. Purchase a signed copy by author Lorraine Ellenwood while quantities last. Makes a great present for family and friends!
We invite you to visit!
Echoes of the past mingle in a modern-day hustle and bustle at the White Rock Museum + Archives Gift Shop housed within the train station built in 1912. Nestled by the promenade along a stunning seascape and a railroad where trains occasionally whistle by, the Gift Shop presents a homey atmosphere packed with affordable treasures. The changing exhibits in the Museum & Archives and the quality of the wares in its gift shop entice locals and travelers from all over the world year round.
Friendly staff and volunteers welcome visitors to enjoy exploring the merchandise which includes native and original art, jewellery, ceramics, glassware and crafts by local artists. In addition, historical photographs, railway mementos, handmade greeting cards, books on our local area, and our own "Years of Promise" book provide all-occasion gift giving ideas.
Free information from such popular pamphlets as "The Legend of the White Rock" creates family fun and clears up the mystery of the celebrated rock that gives White Rock its name and stands invincibly on the shore.
