Halton County Museum to Open Summer History Showcase
The Halton County Museum on the Duff Alexander farm in the Kelso Conservation Area reads like a living past. Curator Major Harold J Newman notes the museum will grow over its fifth year toward maturity, with a tentative official opening on the fourth Wednesday of July. The collection includes roughly 7,000 items catalogued under an international system, with 60 percent gifts, 20 percent on loan, and the rest purchased. The project includes a Centennial Year gift program and a planned $31,657 Centennial Project building to house horse-drawn vehicles and early transportation gear, funded by municipal, provincial, and federal governments.
