    The Photo Collection at the Stewiacke Valley Museum is growing by leaps and bounds!
    We now have around 1500 photos! We have photos of people, homesteads and school groups
    Also photos of Military veterans in uniform and War brides.
    And we have photos of events such as picnics, floods, etc.
    We also have a collection of photos of homes in the valley with the history of each home, as far as we know it!
    We invite everyone to visit the Museum this summer and see for themselves.
    We may have pictures of your ancestors, or your ancestors homes (which you may never have seen before!)
    If you have photos which we do not have, we would be pleased to borrow them, make copies, and add them to our collection for others to view.
    Copies of our photos are available for a slight cost.
