On the morning of May 20, a group of public officials, local citizens and media gathered in Mansfield et Pontefract to celebrate the opening of the museum at the George Bryson Heritage House. The press conference was partly to celebrate the opening of the museum as well as the illumination of the Felix Gabriel Marchand bridge, which will take place this evening.

Speaking about the Museum, Mansfield Mayor Sandra Armstrong said that the house had seen a lot of changes over the years.

Dominic Dufour, a museum expert that worked on the new exhibits said that they would be filling out the space in the future, and there would be new exhibits swapping out every so often.

Armstrong said that their escape room would also be available this summer, and encouraged the public to come visit.

More information is available on the house’s website.
