We were so pleased to welcome Grade 2 and 3 students from Betty Gibson School to the Daly House Museum last week. The students spent time in our children’s garden planting marigolds, petunias, and snow peas, and they did a wonderful job adding color and life to our space.

This visit has become a special tradition, and we are grateful to Betty Gibson School for continuing to send students year after year. A heartfelt thank you as well to our dedicated garden volunteers, whose time and care make these experiences possible.

Thanks to everyone involved, our gardens and the front of the museum are off to a beautiful start for the summer. Come by and see the great work for yourself.

We’re thrilled to share a beautiful piece of Brandon’s curling heritage: the framed photograph and Walkerville Trophy from the 1904 Brandon Bonspiel, won over 120 years ago by the Oak River Rink. Our thanks to Terry Smith for entrusting them to us. These historic pieces will soon be on display in one of our rooms for all to enjoy.

Fifty years ago, on May 17, 1976, a group of dedicated citizens incorporated the Brandon Museum. Half a century later, we honour the founders whose vision built the institution we are proud to steward.

President: Colonel S. A. Magnacca
Vice-Presidents: G. P. Sutherland, Mrs. P. A. McPhail
Secretary: R. J. Coates
Treasurer: A. E. Shuttleworth
Directors: E. Garth Stouffer, Dr. H. W. Burmeister, Mrs. C. W. Disher, John McGregor, R. W. Brown, Mrs. F. J. Heeney, and Nick Auriti

Their words, inscribed on the plaque presented by Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Brown in 1978, still ring true: "The citizens of Brandon and district are greatly indebted to the above for the work they have done to make this museum possible."

Thank you to the founders, and to every volunteer, donor, and visitor who has carried this work forward. Here's to the next fifty years.

Today we’re celebrating International Tea Day with a piece of local history from the Daly House Museum collection.

This Daly Tea Company box, c. 1914–1920, was made for the Daly Tea Company of Brandon, Manitoba. The company received its provincial license on May 8, 1914, and appointed Charles S. Uniccume of 148-9th Street as its agent. Daly Tea Company operated in Brandon until the 1920s.

A simple box, but a reminder of tea’s cultural and economic significance, both globally and right here at home. We hope you get to enjoy a cup of tea today.
