Behind the Scenes Sundays

Good afternoon!

Sarah, David and I are already a bit lonely now that Catie, Kelsey, Ali, and Melanie have returned to school.  Luckily we have had lots of helpers on site this week completing projects such as Allan and Corey with the new Community Compost bin sponsored by TD Friends of the Environment Fund, Martin putting in a new (old) window for added light in the barn, and Susan who manned the museum Friday morning for us.  Many hands make light work and we appreciate each of you. 





New window inside the barn. 

Things are shaping up well as we get closer to next weekend's Heritage Farm Show.  See the details of the event below.  Three new pieces arrived this past week for our barn collection.  A corn binder was donated by Marianne Vergeer, a potato digger from Joe Collins, and Doug and Beverly Small dropped by with a washing machine from Thomas Brothers Limited, St. Thomas.  I am looking forward to doing a bit of research on each of these items, but for now here are pictures of a couple of them.

As you can see the washing machine is in need of a new metal bottom and four legs to display properly and possibly use as an education piece.  If you're somewhat handy, please contact me to volunteer for this project.  Angela Bobier 519-762-3072 

See you all next Saturday and Sunday!  Bring a car full of family and friends to Backus-Page House Museum, 29424 Lakeview Line, Wallacetown
