Next stop RJ Haney Heritage Village & Museum. |
Years ago, our Chapter used to visit this beautiful site on occasion. |
The one room Broadview School was constructed over the winter of 1917, and officially opened in January 1918, and saved neighbouring children a long walk to Canoe or Salmon Arm. The school was moved to the village in 1988 and . . . |
. . . now houses the Children's Museum and Discovery Centre in the school’s gymnasium. School re-enactments occur regularly as part of the daily activities from May - September included with your general admission. |
If memory serves me, the Shuswap Chapter are caretakers of this exhibit. |
|
Established in 1878 in Hamilton, Ontario, the Bank of Hamilton was in expansion mode when it opened the first branch in Salmon Arm in 1906. |
