45 years ago today!

After four years of tireless restorations, the Smiths Falls Heritage House Museum opened its doors for the first time on June 13th, 1981. Led by the dedication of volunteers Joan Hogan, Harold Nichol, Ron Stewart, Joyce Brennan, and Bill Dobson, Smiths Falls finally had a permanent home to share the history of the community.

This photograph shows Mayor Fred Aboud greeting the public on the front steps of the museum.

Drop by SFHHM this weekend. Admission is by donation.
