Artifact Spotlight: M.A.D. Memorabilia

In 1971, Mrs. Sharon Service and Mr. Dave Thompson combined the drama and music classes at OHS to produce "Oliver". The overwhelming success of this production later prompted Mr. Thompson and Mr. Pat Lavin to create M.A.D., by combining the courses of music, art, and drama. This program ran for about 10 years, producing an outstanding musical every year. For some students it was the beginning of a future career in the arts.

Pictured here are just a few of the M.A.D. items on display at the museum. Come visit us to take a look for yourself!

Artifact Spotlight: The Model T Ford Instruction Book
The Model T Ford was manufactured from 1908-1927 and was one of the first mass produced vehicles, making it a practical and affordable choice for many people, including those in rural areas.

This instruction manual is a 1954 reprint of the 1913 edition. Along with the usual tips for operation and maintenance, the manual also provides some practical words of wisdom for car owners:

"If the history of all the joyously anticipated pleasure trips that have ended disastrously could be written, it would be shown that in 90 per cent of the cases the humiliation and disappointment might have been avoided by making a certain repair and adjustment, the necessity of which was known before starting, instead of trusting to luck and a crippled part."

Perhaps more people would read their owner's manuals today if they were written like this one!

Exhibit Feature: Eddy Dales General Store

In 1942, Eddy Dales worked in Mr. Ledger’s grocery store. This is where his love for the grocery business started, and where he met his future wife, Dorothy. Along with Dorothy and Eddy, their eight children worked at the store.

Brian Bourke later joined the team and in 1980 the building upgraded to better fit the needs of the community. The Eddy Dales general store provided dedicated and personalized services to its community.

Come check out our mainstreet exhibit to experience the store for yourself and learn more about Onoway's rich history!
