Tourism Thursdays
Welcome back everyone! Now the Backus-Page House museum is open again our regular hours. Tuesday through Friday 10am -4: 30pm, & Weekend and holidays 12 - 4pm. We hope to see you in for a tour!
This weekend is Victoria long weekend. Victoria Day is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the Monday preceding May 25 in every province and territory. It honours Queen Victoria's birthday. Victoria Day is also commonly referred to as the "May two-four weekend" or the "May long weekend" and it marks the unofficial start of the cottage season/farming season. So many people call it “ May two-four” maybe it's called May two-four because May 24, 1819 is Queen Victoria's birthday.
BUT the big event this weekend is ….
