To finish off our first season we circle back to our very first episode through the high arctic and a monumental archaeological discovery that our town had a small, but vital part in. History has a unique way of connecting every story eventually, and the many stories of our town are no exception. We can’t wait to make more of those connections in our next season of stories.

We take a moment to thank the behind-the-scenes team that have worked so hard to make these episodes available. We hope you have enjoyed them.  And finally, we invite you, the listeners, to come out and join us in person for some of our exciting programming over the summer months. As always, more details will be posted on our Facebook page. www.facebook.com/collingwoodmuseum.

We will be back with season two in September.
