Canada at War

For the month of November, the Galloway Station Museum and Travel Centre will be displaying an exhibit dedicated to the sacrifices and achievements of Canada through her various war efforts.  Starting with the Boer War and finishing in Afghanistan. The Canadian Military has been all around the world  and has played major roles in battles that shaped the world as we know it. 

Artifacts donated by area residents will be on display, including a motor brigade uniform from 1914. A selection of wartime movies will be available to watch in our industry room inside the museum. Such battles as Vimy Ridge and D-Day are highlighted in the movies. 

Rainbow Mountains

The Galloway is hosting the temporary display 'Rainbow Mountains' from November to January. The display features 13 enlarged photographs from the first circuit of Mt. Robson and the country around Robson, Yellowhead Pass and Maligne Lake. 

The photographer, Byron Harmon took the pictures in 1911 during his expedition of the area. His photos give a very intimate look of the people and places in the Rainbow Mountain region.
