As our Museum/Skansen is still growing with the addition of more buildings, the displays are also ever-changing although the main themes remain permanent.
A number of permanent displays will be moved into the log farmhouse where the emphasis of the displays will be on the life of the Polish Kashub immigrant family in their new home in Canada.
The emphasis of the displays in the Log Shed [See Building #2 ] is on the store, post office, railway station and school in the pioneer Polish Kashub Community, as well as on the life of the farmer, forest worker, carpenter /cabinetmaker and blacksmith. Some exciting new artifacts will soon be added to these displays.
The emphasis of the displays in the main log cabin is on the Polish Kashubian cultural heritage of these immigrant families, as well as the story of their immigration. The main building also houses the Resource
Library and Heritage Store and acts as the Welcoming Centre to the Museum and Park.
Then there are also seasonal displays that change each year. In 2006, the emphasis was on music to coincide with the release of the CDs Folk Music from Canada's First
Polish Community and Songs and Dances from Canada's First Polish Community.
