Visitor notes and gifts at the Manitoba museum
A museum diary details holiday travels in Virden and a steady flow of visitors from Canada and the US. It recounts arrivals of equipment like a 1930 cat tractor from Powell Equipment Winnipeg, a steam engine with a highway low bed from Robins district, a threshing machine from Carmen, and a carved cribbage board.
