Access from Coldwater Avenue:
The Nicola Valley Museum and Archives is located at 1675 Tutill Court. Access was formerly off of Jackson Avenue and our former address was 2202 Jackson Ave. However due to expansion of Coquihalla/Gillis House Seniors Residence, access is no longer available from Jackson Avenue and the street name and address was recently changed to recognize the new access.
