Museum Newsletter
The Museum Newsletter first started with a spring issue in 1990 and published
quarterly with Everett Rice being the leader. After Everett's unexpected passing
in 1993, the Museum Newsletter was carried on a few more issues by other
museum volunteers. The last newsletter we have is from the 1994 winter issue.
These newsletters kept the community updated on the goings on at the museum,
held small contests guessing mystery artifacts, information on on various
museum artifacts, and much more. Check out some of the issues at the Town of Rocanville website or come read them at the Rocanville Museum!
SASKSCAPES – The Rocanville Market
On July 24th, 2015 Kevin Power of the podcast "SASKSCAPES" came out to our annual Market at the Museum. Kevin spent some time interviewing Jamie MacLeod, some of the museum staff at the time, and a few other community members (as seen in the image to the left) in attendance about Rocanville, the museum and why they are proud to call it "my town". Give it a listen here and see if you can recognize anyone, or agree with why they are proud to call Rocanville "my town".
Videos
Some guests and volunteers have emjoyed their time at our museum so much that
they share them on social media as well! Get a sneak peak into all of the goings on
during our Annual Threshing Day in September by watching this video. Here is a
video of one of our long time volunteers running our 1912 Rumely Oil Pull at the
Old Tyme Harvest for Hunger in Langenburg back in 2013.
