2024.16.1 - Ruby Roger’s Teacup

  • Footed lusterware teacup owned by Ruby Rogers

  • Dates from the 1920s-1930s

  • We have paintings of the Rogers children in the RMDC collection, so it's fun to have a piece they owned while growing up!

  • Ruby was born in Rossland in 1909 and grew up with one sister, Mary. She eventually moved to Comox, BC, and passed away in 1998
 

Community Quandaries

Calling all Rubberhead Bike Festival lovers! We're on the hunt for photos and memories from 1980s and 1990s during the foundational years of this iconic Rossland event. We're gearing up to update our sporting exhibits in our upcoming Renewal project and can't imagine doing a mountain biking display without including the Rubberhead! If you've got pics or stories to share, we'd love to hear from you - we can't wait to ride down memory lane together and bring this history back to life!
