January 16th: Witnesses To History –

Restoring the Museum’s Heritage Buildings: The museum’s buildings not only house the museum’s

collections and operations, they are also artifacts in their

own rights as witnesses to the community’s history.

This presentation explores the history of the museum’s

three designated Municipal Heritage Properties (the

W.R. Orr Building, the C.M. Glascock Building, and the

1935 Log Museum) and traces the work that the museum

has undertaken to rehabilitate these fascinating heritage

buildings, including the construction of the new log

museum building as an homage to the former latter

additions to the 1935 Log Museum.

February 20th: Night at The Museum I: The Log Museum is a veritable treasure trove of objects

and artworks that collectively tell the remarkable story

of what is now southwest Saskatchewan. As exhibit

text cannot fully do justice to the fascinating stories of

the objects housed by the museum, this presentation will

allow participants to get up close and personal with the

stories and meanings behind just a few of the

extraordinary objects currently on exhibit in the Log

Museum.

March 26th: Night at The Museum II:

Continuing on the theme of the Feb. 20th presentation,

this presentation will examine even more stories and

meanings behind another set of extraordinary objects

currently on exhibit in the Log Museum.

C.M. Glascock Building Gallery:

Artist Geoff Phillips is currently programming the

gallery space in the museum’s C.M. Glascock Building.

Watch for more information about upcoming art

exhibitions curated by our resident artist Geoff.
