In its own words
Photos documents and artifacts relating to early life in bass river as well as other rural areas in our province make up a large part of our displays at bass river heritage museum. Our collection of military uniforms medals and photos continues to grow. Our collection of genealogical records also continues to grow. Wall panels and roof panels on the kiosk in bass river interpretive park provide much information in both text and photos. These can be viewed at any time of the day.
