News for June, 2011 - The Creston Museum, Creston BC - Celebrating ...

Something happening down here at the Museum.  It might be big and noticeable, but as often as not it's happening behind the scenes.  In summer, the "something" might be a visitor who spends hours here, telling us amazing stories about his or her life in the Creston Valley.  In winter, it might be a research request that gets me sidetracked, or a new exhibit being installed, or maybe we've made a big dent in the pile of artifacts to be catalogued.

Whatever the "something" is, I'll tell you about it here.

Big thanks to Greg, Ian, Ken, Tom, Gord L., Verl, Gord M., Ray and Jim for all the work they've done so far.  Wynndel Box and Lumber donated the 6x6 posts that hold up the roof; J H Huscroft contributed the lumber for the strapping; Creston Tree Service took down a tree that was in the way; and I think the use of the bobcat was donated too, but I'm sorry, I can't remember from who - I'll check that and let you know! What is going to go in this shed?  Among other things, this 1942 Massey-Harris self-propelled combine (the first of its kind in the Creston Valley). Here it is being brought to the Museum several years ago, and, thanks to all this support and funding from Columbia-Kootenay Cultural Alliance , we are finally going to get it under cover and protected! Really young children, we've noticed, don't always enjoy touring the Museum as much as their parents and grandparents do, so a few years ago we put together a little treasure hunt to keep them entertained.  It was basically twelve photos of objects in the Museum, printed on a sheet with little boxes for the kids to check off when they found the items.  It has been a big hit, but it wasn't very professional. Came across a book online entitled, "The American Apple Orchard"-(1917) by F.A.Waugh (p.165) which states: "Such bushel baskets with covers cost about $12 a hundred". The author was referring to a pre-fabricated standard sized apple box. If so, I would guess pre-cut box pieces in 1917 would have cost around $5 a hundred. Assuming 10 boxes a bundle, that translates to 50 cents a bundle.  The boxes were delivered in bundles, and I've been told there'd be ten boxes per bundle. The question is, how much did the bundles cost? Ian mentioned the other day, that someone had told him, that it was 29 cents a bundle - but at that rate, it harldy seems worthwhile for the box factories to make them!
