The official Opening of "Scotty" the T-rex display will be held at the Museum at 7pm on Wednesday, May 11. We are pleased to have this Royal Saskatchewan Museum display for the summer months. Come and enjoy tea and cookies with the directors, special guests and MLA's.
Starting in May 2011, the Avonlea Heritage Museum will be featuring “Scotty the Tyrannosaurus rex”. This temporary exhibit is on loan from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and is sure to please dinosaur lovers of all ages. Robert Gebhardt, a schoolteacher, originally discovered Scotty in the Eastend area in 1991.
Avonlea Heritage Museum is officially closed for the season, but you can arrange a tour by calling Jean Kincaid at 868-2064, Bernice Sanderson at 868-2156, Annamae Nelson at 868-2043, or Cathy Geisler at 868-2098.
Things have been changing in the Museum this summer! The Pioneer Display Building has been rearranged and we're proud of the new General Store and Blacksmith Shop in our Main Street display. Work continues as Garry, Clarence and Richard get the Dr. Office/Drugstore ready. Come down and check it out!
Thank you to Ace Pointer of Calgary who hoisted a new flag at the Museum recently. Whenever a Canadian soldier loses his life over in Afgahnistan, it flys at half-mast in appreciation and respect for those who risk their lives for Peace and safety everywhere.
