POMO Museum is located in the second railway station built in Port Moody in 1908.

The building itself was designed as a live-in train station, consisting of two floors, and modernly includes a basement. The main floor is accessible to the public as the exhibition/display space while the top floor, which was previously used as bedrooms, now functions as staff offices. The basement holds our collection storage and washrooms.

Also on property is a 1921 first-class sleeper car that has been refurbed to also include a dining area.

There is also a meditation garden and curiosity garden found on the grounds.

The museum is owned and operated by the Port Moody Heritage Society.
