Museum Building | |
The Museum building was originally a Methodist Church, erected in
1882. It served the congregation only two years, then remained idle until
it was purchased by the Anglican Church in 1901 for $75.00. They used it up
until 1965, after which time it went through a period of 10 years unused.
When the Museum Board was formed in 1975, they purchased the building.
