Page THE HERALD Wednesday May 17 Oakville location too far away says EHS member Museum move raises questions By DONNA KELL Herald Staff Although Halton Region could locate a new museum in Haltons geographic centre a local member of the Esquesing Historical Society says the Oakville location is too far away Regional staff filed a report to councillors saying the Halton Region Museum located in Kelso Park should be moved to one of two locations Bronte Creek Provincial Park was a preferred choice over a Crawford Lake Campbellville location There were several different places I understand they want a location thats on a travelled road thats more accessible for the tourist industry said historical society chairperson Jean Ruddell But she added that its too far away from Halton Hills Mrs also said the ar tifacts from Halton Hills now in the overcrowded buildings in Kelso would remain but local people would be hesitant to give artifacts for an Oakville site she said The Region originally suggested a main museum for four municipalities to share Additional satellite museums could house displays and create a local flavor Burlington Mayor Bird said at last weeks Regional ad ministration and finance commit tee meeting that Hills should push for a satellite museum If I were the mayor of Halton Hills I would want to find a way to get a satellite facility he said But Halton Hills Mayor Miller said the idea would have to be shelved It would be great to have a satellite museum in Halton Hills to take some of the artifacts but we cant afford it he told the finance committee Mayor Miller said the proposed for the new museum is just a start The Region will come to the end of the bucket in funding he said The facilities at Kelso Park cost museumgoers extra money to use because there is a gate fee and then an entrance fee said Paul At tack Director of Heritage Services at the museum Rarely do tax payers pay at the gate plus SO for a family to visit our museum says a Regional report And Mr Attack says there is no proper storage for the museums archives On a tour of the museum be showed where bats and mice were a problem in the large bam structure where pests have been gnawing away at some of the ar tifacts The artifacts from the four municipalities are kept in crowded quarters on the property Valuable paintings and old photographs are protected in a smaller building called the pig gery which is a former piggery once used by a farmer But the photos and paintings cannot be displayed until they can be In a climatecontrolled building said Mr Attack He said there are no climate con trol devices to keep the museum pieces from spoiling In some places ft is too dry and in others too damp he said lite buildings are too cold in winter and too hot in summer

artifacts They dont have proper storage for archival material she said After touring the museum facilities last week Regional coun cillors agreed that steps should be taken to save the museums ar tifacts The administration and finance committee will send the museum report to Regional council for information Councillors will then debate the issue Halton Regions commissioner for planning and development Rash Mohammed said the Bronte Park location was chosen because it is closest to Haltons centre The point of maximum ac cessibility for the highest popula tion is Burnhamthorpe Road and Highway he said last week Some Regional councillors said many of the museums visitors would be from outoftown A new location would give the museum visibility and centrahty Regional councillors heard
