Sprague & District Historical Museum Inc.
Description
The Sprague and District Historical Museum Inc. is the only museum in the Rural Municipality of Piney. It was organized in 2005 and opened in 2006. Over the years four more buildings and two carports have been added to the site. Thoughtful displays showcase the history of schools, post offices, general stores, CNR Stations, veterans, logging industry, and Indigenous culture in the region.
Doris Hovorka, PRCC member since 2017, has been on the museum board of directors since 2004 and became President in 2010. She is a champion for change in the community, receiving the Lieutenant Governor’s Make a Difference Community Award in 2020 and the Lieutenant Governor’s Vice-Regal Volunteer Award.
The museum is open throughout the summer on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-5 pm with free admission; it is solely run by volunteers. The museum also hosts an annual opening picnic and makes yearly presentations to the students at Ross L. Gray School.
