The Anola and District Museum is open 1-4pm Sundays from May to October and includes the original Anola Schoolhouse with an award winning display on one-room schools of the area, Millbrook Chapel, replica store, and Anola Blacksmith Shop. Step inside the Fire Hall to get a glimpse of Springfield’s first fire truck, or explore one of the municipality’s oldest farmhouses. All buildings within this site contain artifacts from days gone by, including hand-written letters. Ever wonder how the laundry got done 100 years ago? For the domestic king or queen, or children you wish to inspire, come check out the “Lessons in Laundry” display, complete with tools used for clothes cleaning and stories that provide a snapshot of this familiar and important household chore.

The museum is located one block south of Hwy 15 at 725 Weiser Crescent, across from the Community Club. Please call 204 866 3599 for further information.
