Goulbourn Museum supporters can join 'Friends'

Posted Feb 16, 2012 By EMC News

EMC News - The Goulbourn Museum is looking for friends.

"Friends of the Goulbourn Museum," that is.

Now that the Goulbourn Museum is an independent organization with its own incorporation and charitable status, having formally separated from the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, it is hoping that support will be forthcoming from the public in the form of people joining the new "Friends of the Goulbourn Museum."

Yearly memberships are only five dollars, payable to the Goulbourn Museum.

Those who join "Friends of the Goulbourn Museum" will receive seasonal issues of the Museum Messenger, a newsletter providing highlights of Museum activities and telling about upcoming events at the Museum.

The Goulbourn Museum is committed to creating dynamic exhibits that showcase Goulbourn's heritage, to developing local history education programs, to protecting the community's artefacts, and to bringing Goulbourn's fascinating history story forward to the broader community.

The Goulbourn Museum can be contacted at 613-831-2393 or by email at goulbmus@rogers.com.

The Goulbourn Museum's website can be found at www.goulbournmuseum.ca.

The Goulbourn Museum is also on facebook and twitter and has a blog at http://goulbournmuseum.blogspot.com.

The Goulbourn Museum, located on Huntley Road (extension of Stittsville Main Street) at Flewellyn Road just south of Stittsville, is open all year on Tuesdays to Fridays and also on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
