Goodbye to an old friend...
1918 Chevrolet Model 'T' Truck
It is with mixed emotions we tell you that this 1918 Chev truck is being moved by the family of Clive and Alta Rogers, to a GM Heritage Museum in Detroit, USA.
We are sad to lose the truck Clive and his friends put such love and expertise into restoring, but for them to get international recognition for their work is quite outstanding.
We are grateful to have shared this treasure since 2013. There is no established date for the transfer.

The Middleville and District Museum started in an 1861 stone schoolhouse in the village of Middleville, Ontario. The museum building expanded in the 1970s and again in 2013 to over 5000 square feet to accommodate its extensive collection of local artifacts which include a pioneer cabin, pioneer tools, horse drawn hearse, 1922 Model T Ford, woven textiles, agricultural implements, household items and an entire classroom! The Indigenous, Blacksmith, Cobbler, Carpenter, General Store, World War and Church exhibits are visitor favourites. The Museum is home to a large collection of local archival and genealogical records.
