With North Bay’s Centennial as a city approaching in 2025, the North Bay Museum is planning a display of local stories and artifacts based on community contributions.
The museum is asking residents to submit stories which are connected to historical objects to be included in the exhibition. To be considered, artifacts/stories should connect to the period of 1925–2025. See a sample exhibit submission in the photo above.
"We want the North Bay Museum’s Centennial exhibition to include the stories that North Bay residents feel are important. We plan to include stories about industry, celebrations, music, military contributions, major historic events, local institutions, sports, and more," says museum Director Naomi Hehn. "Rather than choosing only a few topics to focus on, we want to create a diverse display that reflects the many facets of North Bay’s history, as represented in historical objects."
To apply, email [email protected] or fill out the submission form on the museum’s website here. Submissions will be accepted from Aug. 20– Oct. 20, 2024.
The museum is also seeking local musicians and musical groups to perform for a series of free concerts at the museum in the spring of 2025. To apply, visit northbaymuseum.com to submit your application.
