Welcome to the first Friday of 2022! Today we’re flashing back to a photograph featuring students from the Kenmore Continuation school in circa 1928. Accession # 2012.180.01 ##FlashbackFriday #613History #ClassPhotograph #ContinuationSchool

Given the freezing cold temperatures we’ve experienced this week, we thought it’d be appropriate to flashback to a winter scene from the past! This photograph features married couple Dan and Grace Rutherford (no date) outfitted in their full winter attire. #FlashbackFriday

Wow, that was quite the snow storm yesterday! We hope everyone stays safe outdoors in those extreme winter conditions. Here’s a view of a snowstorm at a railway crossing in Osgoode from 1943. Accession # 2014.195.01 #snowstorm #winterstorm #snowremoval #613history

Eager as a beaver, our mascot Verne patiently awaits the museum's reopening once it is safe to do so. In the meantime, you'll catch him taking selfies in our permanent exhibit! Happy #MuseumSelfieDay!
