This museum houses a lot of our towns rare artifacts. I was very impressed with so many articles. One has to go upstairs to see all of them. As my grandmother Hickey worked here, I was very interested in the old pictures, however, I did not see her in any of them. I was also acting as Sir Charles Tupper on one occasion and his hope was on Victoria St. in Amherst.
