👋🏼 Calling all kids!

Did you know that today is National Child Day? Can you tell us what we’ve removed from this picture? It was almost lost by a little girl here in New Westminster over 125 years ago. If you come by the museum before Sunday November 23 and tell us who this belonged to and how they almost lost it...you’ll get a prize.

A reminder that the New Westminster Museum and Archives is open seven days a week: Monday to Thursday from 10 AM to 8 PM, and Friday to Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM.
