The
Caleb Pike Heritage Park is located 25
minutes from downtown Victoria in a beautiful rural setting. There
are two heritage-designated buildings that can be rented separately
or together:
The
Little Red Schoolhouse was
originally built in 1893 on a nearby Highlands property, and it
was moved and reconstructed on the Caleb Pike Heritage Park property.
It is 714 square feet, and offers elegant, timeless charm in a natural
setting.
The
Caleb Pike House is a restored squared
log pioneer home that was built in 1883. It offers a more rustic
space of approximately 600 square feet and has wood stove heating.

Schoolhouse - a great place for a wedding. |
Both
spaces offer a meeting capacity of approximately 50. If both buildings
are rented together and a canopy tent is used in the grounds, a
maximum of 150 people can be accommodated for outdoor events such
as weddings.
It
should be noted that washrooms are in a separate building in the
orchard, and a separate small kitchen is available for use in the
heritage designated old dairy building. It has a stove, a fridge
and a microwave. It is requested that renters either hire caterers
or take full responsibility for bringing and cleaning their own
dishes and cutlery. All garbage must be removed by renters. No smoking
on the grounds under any circumstances. Coffeemakers and plastic
tablecloths are available.
