Times -Advocate, February 25, 1981 Page 23 Attendence up at Heritage Museum While many of Ontario's museums are cam. plaining about a 10 percent decrease in attendance for 1980, Lambton Heritage Museum reports an increase of about 1,127 visitors over the previous year, up about six percent. In his annual report, curator Robert Tremain says that Amercian gasoline shortages early in the season, and a wet September cut into the off season tourist traffic, yet good attendance over the summer increased the total. A portion of the museum's visitors came by bus. Tre- main says that a total of 108 busloads of senior citizens, school classes and clubs from all over southwestern Ontario were given con- ducted tours of the museum in 1980. Almost half of these groups asked to take part in the pioneer craft program, where visitors make butter, dip candles or split cedar shingles. According to Tremain, a core group of dedicated volunteers made such a program possible. Dressed in period costume, they ex- plain to the children the process of making natural dyes. or demonstrate the art of spinning. In the fall of 1980, the Lambton Country Board of Education included the Lambton Heritage Museum as a formal part of the grade five local hisory curriculum. Tremain says that this of- ficial reccommendation will bring additional school groups in 1981. Tremain says that the two special event days hosted by the museum in 1980 proved very popular. About 900 visitors came to the Antique Gas Engine Day on May 25. Then on August 10 another 1500 visitors enjoyed the Heritage Craft Show and Sale. Due to the success of these days, Tremain says that they should become annual events. However, the success presented a new problem. The present park- ing lot and highway access is not adequate to handle the large crowds. Accordingly, Tremain says that a new access is to be installed this year. Plans to expand the special event days to include quilt shows and antique auto rallies are being made. Tremain also listed another special event in his report. The wedding of Joanne McKellar and Bert Vandersluis took place in the Mary Ellen Chapel at the museum on May 31. Several new displays were added to the museum in 1980. The largest project was a se- cond farm machinery building. Exhibits in the ex- isting farm machinery building were cleaned up and Eleven living reasons for choosing Shur -Gain Pig Starter.

In the main building, several new displays have been set up. They include churns. china, military paraphenalia, old lighting, a stuffed bird area and the in- dustrial history of Lambton.
