Today is the #CentralSaanich 75th Anniversary. We know what a journey it's been! #LogCabinMuseum has seen the changes, and played a part in shaping the #community it is today. Stop by our tent for photos, and talk to someone who watched planning for #CSaan, unfold around her family’s kitchen table!

Hazy skies from #ForestFires are not a recent occurrence. Here’s a view looking out over the ocean, with the far islands shrouded in #wildfire smoke. Year unknown. #SaanichPeninsula #ThrowBackThursday

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”.🍨 On #MysteryMonday last year, we featured an interesting machine. Our favourite theory? It's a hand-crank ice cream maker! Today is #NationalIceCreamDay, though we won’t be making any #IceCream at the #LogCabinMuseum in this beauty. 😁

Got plans for today? We’re open 1-4 - so come explore! We’ve got #HistoricPlacesDays, highlighting #CommunicationThroughPlaceAndTime, as well as a new Children’s display and touch table! Plus lots more to explore, of #SaanichPeninsulaHistory. #LogCabinMuseum #yyjkids #yyjfamilies

Joyful news from @cheknews.ca: @gurdeep.ca is returning to #yyj! We had the pleasure of meeting #Canada's Joy Ambassador in years past. #MaybeOneDay he’ll come dance with us in front of our community Museum! In fact, we're going to manifest it by imagining it!😁 #BreatheInAndBreatheOut

Come visit #LogCabinMuseum, Saturdays 1-4pm, to explore #HistoricPlacesDays! Through oral traditions, crafts, handwritten letters, telegraphs, telephones, & now digital media, places have always been at the heart of how we communicate. Learn how locals have used #CommunicationThroughPlaceAndTime.

Did you know that #museums make you smarter? It was a subject of debate on the radio, between Isabel Zaw-Tun and Wassim El-Mounzer! Here at the #LogCabinMuseum, we certainly think it’s true.😊 Listen: bit.ly/4wI1CkM #MuseumsMakeYouSmarter #MuseumMonday

Are you tea-first or milk-first person? We don’t judge either way, but #DYK that in history, adding milk to a cup of hot tea was likely to crack a cup of low quality, while tea added to milk would prevent the cracking. Thankfully, today's cups don't tend to crack! #LogCabinMuseum 1-4pm today.

May's quite a month for exploring history - we've got 2 exhibits opening today: >Given we sort of revolve around tea, of course we’ve got a #tea exhibit for #InternationalTeaDay! >Come learn about the McIlmoyle family & their connection to the #LogCabinMuseum!
