With the Official opening on July 15, 1972, the museum would
eventually see more than ten thousand people file through its doors and relive a
bit of history as they looked at artifacts and read articles that outlined
important dates in Broadview’s History.
Within the walls of the museum, you can see Broadview’s
Mascot (Sergeant Bill) of the Canadian Forces in the Great War; the dress of the
time period; you can visit the general store and check out some of the prices of
the goods; and sift through thousands of other artifacts that are housed in the
museum.
When you walk throughout the grounds, you can visit the old
Highland School, the post office; walk through a Canadian Pacific Railway
Caboose or an Indian log house.
In the Highland School you can page through old year books,
look at the text books that were used or sit in the desk and let history relive
itself.
The Museum holds an annual fun day with games for the kids,
music from local talent, and a chance to go back to school in the Highland
School.
