Stop by Heritage Models this week to view this beautiful painting of the River Hebert and Maccan Baptist Churches.

We were honoured to have it presented to the museum by former pastor of the churches, Rev. Ralph Harpell and current church member Joy Gray last week.

If you had the pleasure of knowing Bud, you undoubtedly knew Marion. Today we're wishing a happy birthday to the woman behind the man behind the models. She may not have built the models herself, but our museum wouldn't exist without her. She put up with Bud's hours spent in the garage, the models sitting on her front lawn, and losing more than one birthday to a Museum opening day.

She would have been 91 today! Happy Birthday Marion! 🎈🎉
