The first Home Business Marketwill be held at the Museum grounds on July 9, and the next Artisan Market will be on June 25th.
UPCOMING
The Museum is putting on its first Home Business Market on July 9th. Vendors are encouraged to register.
Ticket Sales on the pictures are ongoing until the last Artisan Market on September 10 th when the draws will be made. Get yours now.
SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS can still be made for visits by contacting any of the directors.
Membership details here.
The museum has a wall of Family History booklets completed by many of the Cranberry Portage families and these are very popular to visitors. If you have not submitted yours, Family History Questionnaires are available from the Museum.
Over the years the Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum has received donations from individuals/businesses In Memory of a Loved One. These have been acknowledged on our Donations Page. The executive has now decided to separate these from the regular Donations and will be making up a new acknowledgement book and these donations will be posted yearly on our Website and Facebook page.
Due to the recent passing of our friend and mentor, Ted Playford, donations, with the consent of his family, are welcome to be made to the Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum in his memory. In future anyone who wishes to have donations made on behalf of a loved one can contact the Public Relations Officer at Sandrabuchberger49@gmail.com and we can work on a notice. Thank you again for your generous donations which are much appreciated in helping out with the expenses of running your Museum.
Anyone interested in volunteering to help out with suggestions or work projects in any way please let one of the directors know. This is your Museum and we need your help. We look forward to seeing everyone as soon as possible. Please stay safe.
To purchase a membership or to make a donation drop into the museum or contact Mabel Brewer the Museum treasurer at 204-472-3031
