Miss By GEOFF HUSSEY BOWMANVILLE (Staff) Nineteenth Century Ontario is quietly and tastefully suspend- ed on hooks and under glass in the elegant, 1850-ish, red-brick- ed premises occupied by the Bowmanville Museum on Silver street. During a fast visit to six rooms of exhibits Thursday the Times discovered more than a tasteful display of artifacts de- picting 19th century life in this area: The Ontario Archaeological Society hds contributed a case of relics collected last April, proving that human life in this area starfed nearly 20 centuries ago. The Soper Creek excavations indicate that settlers who ar-| rived here at the close of the 18th century were preceded by at least two other groups: the first near the beginning of the Christian area that belonged to a late stage of culture known archaeologically as point Pen- insula (circa 1000 BC-500 AD); the second occupation, by Iro- quois @ndians in the 15th cen- tury, lasted a short time and may have provided a_ seasonal hunting ground for Indian) groups then living in the Toron-! to area. 400 VISIT MUSEUM The museum, opened Oct. 6 this year, is expected to arouse widespread interest when it re- opens next May. Mrs. Elsie Lunney, _ publicity chairman, told the Times that more than 1,400 people visited the prem- ises before it closed for the winter on Dec. 6 Who is responsible for the museum? "Mrs. L. B. Wil- liams," says Mrs. Lunney proudly. The 90-year-old Bowmanville resident, now living at 73 Tem- perance street, donated $50,000 for the purpose of setting up the museum. J Thus armed, Bowmanville Town Council purchased, for $25,000, the manse-like proper- ty with large grounds that be- longed to the late Mrs. J. H. Jury, who died last year.

John Simpson. The late J. H. Jury purchased the house around 1800. Co-incidentally, both build- er and owner were ardent horti- culturists, hence, the attractive- ly laidout garden. TRADES DISPLAYED The rooms, large, airy and bright downstairs -- are burst- ing to the seams with exhibits loaned and donated. The most interesting dis- plays are in those rooms which recreate 19th century drawing room, nursery, boudoir and kitchen. Other items effectively highlight trades and crafts of Bowmanville and district up to 1900. Carriages, musical instru- ments, baby cribs and furni- ture of an early Bowmanville industry -- the Dominion Organ and Carriage Co. -- are found to be not far removed in design from those we have today.
