October 23, 1964 -- 33 Museum is at a crossroads The Scugog Shores Museum is at a cross- roads, according to curator Len Green. It can either stagnate or expand to become what he termed "The Little Black Creek of Scugog," a reference to the well known Black Creek Pioneer Museum north of Toronto. Mr. Green, who has been curator for about a year, told the general meeting of the Lake Scugog Historical" Society last Thursday evening, that the Museum has the poten- tial to get bigger and better, if there are more volunteers willing to act as guides and demon- strators. "I can honestly say that our volunteers made quite an impress- ion, and this was due to the dedication and the quality of their skills... but we cannot expand unless we get the support of more volun- teers," he said. Mr. Green said that over the summer months, he hears sev- eral parents and teachers comment on the museum, wondering why school children are taken for tours of the Black Creek facility, when the Scugog Shores Museum is 'in our own area'. He said school children greatly enjoy the guided tours and the demonstrations at the Scugog Museum where they see such things as candle and butter mak- ing, spinning, weaving, oo = wr, Len Green (left) and Jack Kane discuss the progress of the Scugog Island museum"s harness shop, now under construction. Curator Green says the museum is at a cross-roads, with the potential for a promising future. printing, quilting and rug hooking. About 850 students from schools in Port Perry, Oshawa, Whitby, Uxbridge and Woodville tourned the museum this past year. However, Mr. Green repeated several times that expanding and improving the museum depends on more volun- teers, especially during the spring of the year when school tours take place. He suggested that concentrating on the school tours is a good public relations exer- cise for the museum as students often bring their parents back for a visit. The museum, which has seven buildings, is located on Scugog Island, at the inter- section of Durham Road 7 and the 6th\Concession road. An old-fashioned harness shop is now being added to the facilities.
