Best Wishes for 2020 from Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum
Our thoughts go out to the people of Australia at this time, for Cranberry Portage too has known the devastation of wild fires.
The tragedy of the fire of June 4, 1929 - (Slideshow) totally destroyed the community which had been established at the lake shore. We can learn today from the generosity and support of those that had salvaged a few of their belongings and shared, and from the strength of those that chose to stay and rebuild the community across the tracks.
Thank you to Mrs. V and the students of grade 7 and 8 from Cranberry Portage Elementary School. Thank you to Mrs. V for making the Museum a part of the history curriculum. And thank you grade 7 and 8's for being such an enthusiastic group of students to visit Cranberry Portage's Museum. The students have been a joy to have in the Museum. It has been two super afternoons and we look forward to another.
