We can't believe we're saying this but... it's Kelsey & Lola's LAST DAY today!!

Lola is starting university in the fall and Kelsey is headed out of town to take maternity leave.

Thank you for trusting us to turn this place upside down over the last few years β—‘Μˆ We hope you'll enjoy the changes we've made (you're going to love the Local Lore as you discover it over the winter months πŸ˜‰) and continue your stellar support of the NWHS.

We are confidently handing the reins over to Rachel, our new assistant manager/acting manager in Kelsey's place, and Kylie, who many of you already know from town. Please come in and introduce yourselves!

We're open 10-4 today, make sure you come in and say your goodbyes! Thank you again, Norman Wells, we're very proud of the work we've done in here and hope you are too.

A reminder the museum will be closing at 12:30 today. Come visit us in Mackinnon Park!😊
