Port Clements Museum

We arrived in Smithers yesterday and today we are driving to Quesnel.   I thought I would post the pictures from Port Clements Museum.  For such a small place, this was a surprise.  

Port Clements is a very small community (population 280).  It's between Skidegate and Masset.  They have the most unique museum.  Outside is a lot of old logging equipment.  Inside is everything people used from the late 1890's and it's all been donated.  Each item has a story of who used it, the dates they had it and the name of the person who donated it. 

There were a lot of pieces of logging equipment but I only took one picture.  They did a good restoration of this equipment!

Every piece in the museum has a card showing what it is, who donated it and approximately what year it was used.

These catalogues are from 1975!

Typewriters over time,  There was a Gestetner machine at the end of the table. 
Those were interesting duplicating machines!   Boy have things changed in offices!

I still use my mom's potato masher.  An identical potato masher was donated and in the museum!  This isn't a picture from the museum but I actually found one for sale on the internet.
