Phase 1 of the new museum wing at the Cranbrook History Centre was officially opened this weekend, with a special ribbon-cutting event for members and invited guests on Friday and another event for the general public on Saturday. Phase 1 is the lower floor of the eastern side of the complex, known as the freight shed. It is now home to a growing collection displays and artifacts representing a comprehensive history of Cranbrook and the East Kootenay. See more in Tuesday's Daily Townsman.
