A new exhibit is underway at the Fort Frances Museum & Cultural Centre that will showcase businesses in town throughout the years.
And as the COVID-19 pandemic has been especially taxing on local businesses who are faced with constant restrictions and closures, this exhibit is a great way to showcase businesses’ past and present who have been a staple in the community.
Beverly Cochrane, curator at the Fort Frances Museum & Cultural Centre, said the idea started back in the summer of 2019 when they were putting together another exhibit.
“As I was reading through different articles about that area, learning about the businesses in Fort Frances, looking at pictures of places, I thought this is some really good information, and it would be nice for the public to learn about,” Cochrane said.
