Early Summer Exhibit
The theme for the summer display at the Wallace and Area Museum is based on the Museum’s Mi’kmaq basket collection.
When the Museum Society was given the Davison / Kennedy home for a museum it was left full of the every day items used by the Davison & Kennedy families in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Members of the same family lived in the house from its construction in 1839 until it was turned over to the community in 1990.
All the people that lived in the house seemed to want to save the everyday articles of life. There were large collections of clothing, dishes, toys, newspapers, magazines. One collection found in the house and of great interest and significance is the 56 Mi’kmaq baskets dating from the 1880s to present day.
The Mi’kmaq people were the first known inhabitants of what is now the maritime provinces.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The theme for the Museum’s annual heritage mural, painted by local artist Barbara Clark, is the Mi’kmaq people and basket making. Barbara used the inspiration of a 1791 painting by a Halifax Customs agent Binney. The painting shows various aspects of Mi’kmaq life
Late Summer Exhibit
The second display for summer 2012 will open mid July. The theme is a celebration of the village heritage buildings.
The rich history of Wallace is reflected in its buildings. This display looks into the story of some of Wallace’s most recognized buildings.
The Senator’s lodge, the lighthouse, Charman House, Capt. Grant’s house, the Hotel, St Matthew’s Presbyterian Church, Barlow Morris’ General Store, the Battye Hat Shop and St. John’s United,

African heritage trailblazers celebrated
The 10-panel exhibit - "Trailblazers 2012 - United We Stand" by Darlene Strong is symbolic of more than 400 years of vibrant African Nova Scotian history, and will be on display at the Cumberland County Museum and Archives for the month of February.
The exhibit expresses collaborations influencing the accomplishments that have helped African Canadians rise above obstacles such as slavery and systemic racism and become specialists in their fields. In commemoration of Her Majesty the Queen's 60th Anniversary, the exhibit reflects on the first African Nova Scotian and second woman to hold the post of Lieutenant Governor as the Queen's representative in Nova Scotia, Honourable Mayann Francis.
The Town of Amherst came on board as a sponsor because it was an opportunity to bring together not only some great artwork and important part of local heritage, but also a way to support local organizations like the museum and artists like Strong, according to Andrew MacGregor, the town of Amherst, NS arts, culture and heritage co-ordinator.
The exhibit will be displayed at the museum during regular business hours throughout the month of February.

Age of Sail Museum Announcement
Congratulations from Cumberland County Heritage Network Society on your funding!!!
The Age of Sail Museum is happy to announce they have received $15,000 from Communities, Culture and Heritage SDI grant program for interpretive design. These funds will go towards an interpretive design plan for the New wind and wave building which funding was announced for in November from ACOA and N.S. Tourism. The maritime company of Camus Productions has been chosen to do the design plan. The plan will be done in such a way as to make implementation possible over a period of time due to funding restraints. Funds from ACOA and NS Tourism towards interpretive were included in the November funding announcement. Local companies will be offered the chance to make quotes for the new signage and volunteer help will be used where possible in erecting the signs. The interpretive plan will include signage for the new building, kiosk and to refresh and renew signage in the main building to assist the flow from one section to the other. The board of the Age of Sail is very excited to see the progress being made on the new addition and am very grateful for the financial help from the various government entities. Thanks also go out to Paul Collins of CMAP and Bernie Murphy of CRDA for their invaluable assistance. The grand opening will be in the spring and we look forward to seeing everyone then.
