Plympton-Wyoming Museum reopens with new exhibits

After being closed for about two years, the Plympton-Wyoming Museum will reopen on Saturday.

The museum will be open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The museum will also be open on Sundays in July and August from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.

"We have upgraded our early settlers area, we're putting in more displays in that area also," said President of the Plympton-Wyoming Historical Society Gordon MacKenzie. "We are really looking forward to an interesting year."

Two new military exhibits are on display this year, including the Battle of the Atlantic.

"[There are] several good stories about local people who were involved in the Battle of the Atlantic. We have three models, we have a model of a destroyer, a corvette, and a Q105 which people will probably remember as the Duc D'Orleans," said MacKenzie.

Another exhibit focuses on the Raid on Dieppe, which will mark its 80th anniversary in August.

MacKenzie said those who have a loved one who served in the navy will likely find information about the ship they served on at the museum. There is no admission fee to attend.

The museum is located at 6475 Camlachie Rd.
