Heritage Week Open House a Success!
February 20, 2008.

The Nicola Valley Museum & Archives Heritage Week Open House was a resounding success. Approximately 140 people dropped by Wednesday evening to look over the progress that the volunteers have made since the 2007 Open House. The highlight of the evening is the newly-renovated First Nations / James Teit / Henry Castillou alcove.

While the First Nations display panels are still under construction, the three new display cases were a hit, particularly to those who discovered the drawers full of interesting artifacts.
Visit our Volunteers & Supporters page for a list of those who helped make the Open House a success.
