Phillips County Museum News for June 15, 2016

The world is indeed small at times. A family recently visited the PC Museum and were astounded to find their grandfather’s picture in a display case! Gabriel Dumont was a military Commander of the Metis during the North West Rebellion of 1885. As an integral part of the story/display we have in the Museum his picture was featured. His grandson and great grandson were thrilled the Metis story was being told but had no expectations their grandfather's picture would be in the display case of the museum in Malta. What a great experience not only for the family but also the staff of the museum. Please share your family story and pictures with the museum. Sometime in the future a family will walk through the museum door and will be thrilled to discover their roots! Museum hours for the summer are Monday – Thursday 10-5.
