Whats New: 2015
What do a 12 foot Trappers Canoe, a penny clay pipe, and a Brown Bess musket all have in common? Absolutely nothing... except that these artifacts were all donated to the Museum on Tower Hill in 2015! The Whats New Exhibition showcases a large selection of our 2015 donations. In this exhibit you will find a Great Lakes Ship Captains Wardrobe, a Black Fly Sculpture, a pair of childs mittens and much more.
The Whats New Exhibition offers donors a chance to see their donations on exhibit. The Museum on Tower Hill puts this exhibition on annually to both display our new acquisitions and to thank our generous donors for contributing to the preservation of the West Parry Sound Districts history. At the end of this exhibition, every artifact will be packed and stored away properly in our Collections Room ensuring the history of the district will be preserved for future generations to enjoy.
