After Anne Marie Rochford recently brought her FCI Travel Class to visit the museum, the Museum displayed older technology at a recent Job Fair held in the FCI gym. Students were fascinated. See the February 2024 newsletter for details. Congratulations to Anthony Dumas for winning the contest to recognize a portable linesman phone. We were very pleased when several students expressed an interest in working at the museum in the summer, and we will follow up. Teachers from FCI have come to the museum for a tour, and we hope the schools will take advantage of the resources the museum offers.
Many new and beautiful artifacts have been put on display at the museum recently. Although the museum is closed for the winter, small groups can organize a visit and arrange a time, and we will put on a virtual tour on big screen TV in the waiting room. Contact any of the Executive at any time.
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.
We are now set up for e-transfers to cphmuseum@gmail.com.
In the comment portion please provide us with your name, postal address, e-mail and/or phone # as well as indicate what your money is for: ie: memberships, general donations, or In Memory of ???. Receipts (if over $20.00) will be mailed to you for tax purposes.
