Thank you to the Perth and District Community Foundation who has supported the Middleville and District Museum with grants for four successive years! The Museum was pleased to receive support to provide educational programs for the community and visitors for the 2024 season. The grant helped fund workshops and presentations on basket making, heritage plants and preserving photographs. A special event featured the Hopetown Telephone Company. In 2025, the foundation will provide funding for a Wedding Dress project showcasing twenty dresses from the 1800's to the 1960's.
Our Wish list The Middleville and Disrtict Museum takes on lots of projects throughout the year. Volunteers work on updating exhibits and general maintenance like painting and cleaning. The acquisition of additional land in 2021 has meant a whole lot of yard work to be done. Our volunteers need tools to complete various tasks so the museum has come up with a wishlist of items that would be very helpful in completing these tasks.
The museum is looking for the following gently used items:
*saw horse (3)* received! Thank you, Thompsontown *screwdriver set* received! Thank you. C. S. *small hand saw* received! Thank you, C.S.
If you have any of these items that you don't need anymore and would like to donate them to our Museum, please contact us by filling in the form below and we will make a connection. If you live in the Lanark Highlands area we can arrange for drop off or pick up. If you live further afield, but plan to visit the Museum in the future, let us know and bring the item along next season. Thank you to all our great supporters. We are very grateful.
