Ground Breaking Ceremony Success

Updated: Sep 11, 2023

Nearly 100 residents and community officials joined us for a ground breaking ceremony in June to celebrate the beginning of construction on our much anticipated museum expansion.


The expansion will result in a building that it is comparable (6000sq.ft.) to the size of buildings in the immediate vicinity. The service station next door, the strip plaza kitty corner and even Aitken & Fraser are all of similar scale.


The need for more space at the museum is not as much a need for additional exhibit space as it is about space to expand services to the community.


The new space will include:

• A larger E.J. Hughes Gallery. • More exhibit space. • An archives and research area.

• A beautiful outdoor gathering space. • A storage area. • A kitchen.


We look forward to seeing you in our new space in 2024!
