Here’s what’s going on in Arnprior and area over the next 48 hours.
Arnprior:
Take Note: The Arnprior and District Museum invites you to tour its new outdoor exhibit on WWI veterans created in collaboration with local Grade 10 History students. This town-wide project shares local stories at a few familiar community stops: the Cenotaph, the Library, the Legion, the Museum and Town Hall (2nd Floor). It’s free to visit, easy to explore, and a great reason to take walk through downtown and see these places in a new way. Let us know what you think of the amazing work by local ADHS students! The exhibition concludes at the end of February.
