Our Annual General Meeting is Thursday, November 28th, and we are thrilled to invite everyone for an Open House at the museum. If you want to know more about what we do at the museum, our mission, our future goals, this would be the perfect time to check in with us!

Our staff will showcase some of their current and ongoing projects that keep this train moving and board members will be on hand to discuss anything else! Enjoy a tour of the archives and collection storage where we will have pulled some very intriguing pieces for you to browse. The Golden City Fiddlers will be performing for us, and there will be refreshments and snacks!
