Hello to November, and just a heads up that we are getting some much need repairs done to our accessibility ramp to our back door. Unfortunately, that means access to our main floor will only be by stairs for a few days. Our apologies!

We are seeking loans from community members for a Remembrance Day exhibit 🎖️

Do you have an object or family heirloom related to military service or military history? Have you always thought it was special enough to go on display in a museum? Well, this is your chance to share your special object with the public! We are hoping to build a Remembrance Day exhibit this year made up of personal artifacts collected from members of our community- that's you!

If you are willing to share your family's history with us please email [email protected], call 1-902-678-3267, or drop by the museum between 10am-4pm Tuesday-Saturday. We are hoping to collect all objects by November 9th. ❤

If you're stopping by the museum on a Wednesday or Thursday, you'll be seeing a new face in the office! We're happy to announce that Henry, who joined our museum team as a volunteer back in the spring, will be joining us on a temporary contract as our part-time Office Manager.

With a B.A. in History from Swansea University, Henry loves all things historical! Originally from England, he now happily calls the Valley home 🍁 He's always up for a chat about history, museums, or... Lego 😁

We're excited to have Henry on the team, so be sure to say hello next time you're in!
