Historic Attraction Opened

The foresight and drive of the Museum and Art Society in their restoration project of the old cottage in the museum grounds, in Stout Street, was realised on March 8, when the building was reopened as a historic attraction to the public. Miss Winnifred Lysnar-did the honours, helped by Museum Director-Curator Elizabeth Shaw and Museum president Colin Pilbrow.
