2016 Kick off

1/6/2016

We are hard at work this season setting up new exhibits, events and collecting books for our wee gift shop.

There will be two new Mi'Kmaq exhibits this year, a natural history exhibit, an fun exhibit on hats (yes, you can try a few on.) and an exhibit featuring a piece of the Berlin Wall which we have on loan. These along with the many other exhibits on all three floors should make for an exciting year.

In terms of special events we are working on partnering up with the Mi'Kmaq Confederacy of Prince Edward Island, the Montague Library, Past time Hooked Rugs, local authors for book signings and hoping to offer a few learning workshops. Keep posted to website and facebook for updates.

Very excited to add a number of Island books to our wee gift shop this year, as we believe we are the only place available in this area for some of these fantastic titles.

Really looking forward to this tourist season along with getting some more locals in to see the new exhibits.

The Garden of the Gulf Museum has two new additions this year in terms of signage. The Board felt it was time to add a little more color to this amazing Canadian Heritage Building and couldn't be more pleased with the result. Thank you to Starla and Ryan of Shiny Paint for seeing our vision and making it happen.

Lots of Changes Coming to the Museum

It's been a year since last I wrote a blog for the Museum, which is odd to see the last one I wrote is exactly where I'm at right now..... in planning mode. Special Event, Education Programming, Community Involvement and a new Museum Gift Shop. The Board of Directors and the Town of Montague are really looking to breath new life into the Museum this year.
It is our goal to gather more community involvement and support to keep our wonderful heritage site growing. To help preserve the history for many generations to come. For how can we know where we're going if we forget where we came from.

Events, Lectures and Museum Madness

Well, we are in full scale plan mood here at the Garden of the Gulf Museum. From Lunch time Lectures, Evening Presentations, Children's Education Programming and of course Fundraising Events. It takes an enormous amount of time to research and plan such things. Coming up with ideas by researching what other small historic community museums do, then deciding if we have the time, volunteers, energy and/or funds to pull these ideas together. Once the Museum Board decides to run with an idea then the real work and planning begin. Accompanied by the worrying if it'll go smoothly. I've actually discovered a real love for event planning in the last number of years while being here at the Museum. I can't wait to run with some of the ideas for this season. Keep your eyes and ears open for event listings as they are announced. The children's programming will be seeing a few changes this year and we will adding a few events that will involve the community.

Here we are again. Crawling out of hibernation from a particularly hard winter and getting geared up for another wonderful tourist season at the Museum. This year we are very excited about 2014 Events going on in our town of Montague along with island wide. We would also extend a huge congratulations on the opening of the new Riverside Inn, which we get to look at from across the river. You can expect a few new events from the Museum this year, along with more in our exhibits. We will once again be holding our Museum Madness Programs so keep your eyes open for details. Back to work on Monday May 5th to get the Museum ready. Looking forward to seeing you.
