As the Museum's official opening on August the third approaches, it is time to reflect on everything that has happened the past most here at Bedeque Area Historical Museum. Our opening day on first of July was quite successful with over 100 visitors including one very special visitor, Howard Clark. As we walked with Howard throughout the museum, it was incredible to think that this man had collected all these items in such a short period of time. We are certainly very grateful for that. Ultimately, we believe that Howard enjoyed the way that his items were presented and will continue to be presented for some time. While it has not been long since the initial opening, the museum has changed in various aspects. Since the last post on the Museum website, each display offered here at the museum has been modified. Not only is there a wide array of new artifacts presented on the museum shelves, but there is also more information, knowledge, and stories presented. There are also a wide array of important persons invited to the museum this coming Saturday including the Honorable Catherine Callbeck, Prince Edward Island's 28th Premier. If this isn't enough to entice you to come, it is free for all ages to come out and enjoy everything the museum has to offer! While the third of August is a perfect opportunity to visit the museum, the displays as well as the tours are constantly changing, so it is surely a great idea to return!
