Tea & Tour at Kirkland House — A Living History Experience
Step back in time with Delta Stageworks!
Join us on Saturday, September 20, 2025, for Tea & Tour at Kirkland House — a one-of-a-kind cultural experience that brings Delta’s past vividly to life.
Presented by the Delta Heritage Society in partnership with Delta Stageworks Theatre, this heritage event invites you to explore the beautifully preserved Kirkland House and Harris Barn on Arthur Drive in Ladner, BC in a unique way.
What to Expect: At the heart of the experience is a 45-minute Living History Tour inside Kirkland House. Guided by volunteer docents, each small group will move through the house and encounter five costumed actors portraying real-life members of the Kirkland family — from the 1890s matriarch Edna May to Leonard Kirkland, a First World War soldier — all based on family histories from the Delta Archives.
