Love this Christmas card! #Welland

Here is a field service post card from June 15, 1916, sent back home to Welland. These post cards had lines that could be crossed out to update those back home, ensuring no key information could fall into enemy hands. Extra writing on the post card would mean it was destroyed. https://bit.ly/WM_WeRemember #CanadaRemembers #Welland

Are your go-to gifts typically tickets to concerts, events, or amusement parks? A lot of those experiences will be hard to find in 2021 so what about giving the gift of membership to a community museum? Gifting a Welland Museum membership gives the recipient access to special newsletters, discounts on gift shop purchases and events, and free admission to our Museum as well as other participating Niagara Museums! Our memberships are still discounted so an individual membership... is just $5 and a family membership is $20. Memberships will be valid until December 2021. We are working hard on planning a safe re-opening for the 2021 season once our renovations are complete. This year, give the gift of education and connection to your community.
