Did you know the Okanagan is home to a small popul Did you know the Okanagan is home to a small population of wild turkeys? This handsome tom is frozen in the middle of his most important annual job: attracting a mate!

During mating season, a tom puts on quite a show: he puffs up his feathers, fans his tail, and lowers his wings to look big and impressive.

The man who shot the turkey was an avid gamebird hunter. Before his family donated the mount to the museum, it spent many years ‘greeting’ visitors in his foyer. Gobble! Gobble!

It's hard to believe we're full swing into October It's hard to believe we're full swing into October!! 

Take a look at this artifact. It's a 1970s Fisher-Price school bus, complete with its wooden driver.

First introduced in 1959, the bus became a beloved classic, sparking generations of children to imagine school-day adventures beyond the classroom. It also paved the way for Fisher-Price’s iconic “Little People” collection of figures. The bus is worn on the sides, showing it was well-loved by the children who played with it.
