About the Museum

Our new location opened its doors on Sept 25th, 2021 at the new Community Center located above Lake Louise, at 60 Lakeshore Drive. The museum gallery has five vignettes designed to show visitors examples of life in this area utilizing artifacts and educational panels. The sixth vignette presents a hands-on display for children. Additionally six wormy chestnut showcases created by master craftsman Jim Proffitt line the hallway of the Community Center.They contain revolving collections from both local sources and the museum collection. Come and visit.
