Please help the Port Colborne Museum!

This year Port Colborne Historical & Marine Museum staff took Arabella’s Annual Pie Social to the doorstep of their volunteers . For the last 36 years, dedicated volunteers have baked a wide variety of pies to serve in Edwardian fashion during the annual event that marks the opening of Arabella’s Tea Room. Due to the cancellation of this popular event, and being unable to open Arabella’s Tea Room on June 1 as planned, museum staff decided this would be the perfect year to... recognize these dedicated volunteers by treating them to tea and pie. On Sunday, May 31, 2020, they winded the 1910 Edison Standard Model E cylinder phonograph, donated for event use by Ethel Kern, and set out around Port Colborne and beyond delivering an afternoon treat to the volunteers’ front door. Watch the video below of the deliveries with Arabella Williams herself, also known as Stephanie Powell Baswick, Museum Director/Curator.

Although things are on hold, the flowers grow on! Happy June 1st everyone - don't forget to enjoy a nice cup of afternoon tea from home

Our very own Cheryl MacMillan is being featured by the City this Volunteer Appreciation Week. Thank you to all who volunteer at Arabella's Tea Room!
