Winding down for another year

10/9/2013

Tis the season to start winding down for another year. We have had a fantastic year at the Museum. Numbers are up, our children's programming went well this year, summer students were awesome and headed back to school, and the furnance got turned on for the first time the fall. We've had a steady influx of tours coming in so far in September. People from all over the world. Busy finishing up the 2013 newsletter and boxing up items that will have to wait to be accessioned next year.

This week we had the privilage interviewing a Mr. Athol Robertson. Athol is 91 years young, local historian and war veterian. Now to get to transcribing the wonderful stories.

Our second Museum Madness this season was on August 7. Pictured here, the children enjoy listening to a Mi'Kmaq legend. The children also were able to handle arrowheads, play games, and make dream catchers to take home with them.

What an incredible turn out we had for our Building. So excited for all the love and support that we had. Also, we were interviewed live on CBC radio with Matt Rainy that morning. The Eastern Graphic and the Guardian showed up and we were featured on PEI's News cast Compass. Very exciting day for our Museum. We purchase a cake for the event from a local business in Montague called Candi's Cakes and it was delicious. After the ribbon was cut to the third floor everyone filed up the stairs and fell in love with the renovation. Pictured above are MLA Charlie McGeoghegan, Mayor of Montague Richard Collins, Museum Board President John Macdonald and Museum board member Edgar Dewar. Thank you to one and all that made this day such a success. The building that the Museum is housed in is really an incredible heritage site. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that there are so many others th - Connie Spencer -

Here is one of many exceptional artifacts being donated to our Museum this year. It's a sea chart of the River surrounding the Murray Islands. We've put this sea chart directly into our Ship Sailing/Building exhibit. Along with this Sea Chart we've received items that we're trying to get on display as soon as possible. Thank you

The Annual Museum Tea that was held on Friday July 5th. This was a great success once again. A huge thank you goes out to all the volunteer work done by the Friends of the Museum, Museum Board Members, businesses that donated door prizes and silent auction. Tables were decorated beautifully. The baked goods, biscuits, scones and rubarb punch were to die for. Look forward to doing it again next year.
