One of my all time favorite places is Fort Langley.... the Birthplace of British Columbia! This little village is nestled against the Fraser river's Bedford channel. Minutes from Langley and 45 minutes from downtown Vancouver.....and the allure of this place in Autumn is undeniable....
Fort Langley Community Hall
A landmark building in the historic village of Fort Langley, this heritage-designated two-storey hall was built in 1931 by volunteers and continues to be community-owned and maintained today. The hall serves as a rental facility for private functions, weddings and meetings, as well as housing the Fort Langley Branch of the Fraser Valley Library and the Fort Festival of Performing Arts.
Birthplace of B.C. Gallary -The Birthplace of BC Gallery is dedicated to the promotion of local talent, the commemoration of Langley's place in British Columbia's history.

It used to be The Marr House - a gorgeous Victorian Tea House - and where I had my Wedding reception once.......a long long time ago.....:-) Now its the White House.. an adorable little white house filled with pretty white things for your home. Cheryl, the owner, has renovated the MarrHouse to hold her shop downstairs and a bed and breakfast upstairs. Yes, that is white too! It is just stunning and well worth the drive from anywhere.
Gorgeous Victorian Architecture...
