Enderby and District Museum Society
901 George St., Highway 97A, Enderby, British Columbia
The idea of a community museum was initiated by four grade 10 students at the Enderby Junior Secondary School, who began working on plans for a museum in the autumn of 1972. In the summer of 1973 the students were awarded an Opportunities for Youth grant and given a room in the school basement for storage; they began collecting and cataloguing donations, interviewing oldtimers, and building display cases.
The Enderby and District Community Museum Society was registered with the province on September 5, 1973. The society began making plans to build a museum complex-a pioneer log village-and city council promised land on the north side of the Barnes Park playground to the society.
