Opening 2018 Summer Season

Picture
Following the Flag raising ceremony, at Town Hall we made our way over to the 8th Hussars Museum for our official opening of the 2018 summer season.
Tom McLaughlan, Museum Chair, welcomed all visitors and guests.


Tom past the mic over to Brian Clancy, a Sussex Middle School teacher. This year , grade 6 and 7 French Immersion students from Sussex Middle School wrote a book of short essays exploring the inspirational life of Anne Frank. Anne was an 11-year old Jewish school girl living in Amsterdam when the Nazis forced her family into hiding in 1942. The book is titled Cher Kitty, a nod to how Anne began her diary entries each day. The project grew out of their Provincial curriculum, which calls upon students to explore human rights for children. And explore they did! Something extraordinary occurred when they welcomed Anne's 74-year old diary into their classroom. This teenager sparked a remarkable level of curiosity and academic engagement that was just a joy for the teachers to watch unfold.

A copy of this book will be on display at the Museum. Stop by  to read through this remarkable book which we were very honored to receive.
The Museum will be open the week of May 14th .

Learning is a daily existence time measure. We never gets old to learn. Attempt to acquire as much information as possible to remain positive and effective throughout everyday life. The propensity for persistent learning drives you to the statures of the achievement. So attempt to remain positive and have a great time.

    Welcome to the 8th Hussars Museum
     The 8th Hussars Museum is located in the historic Train Station in Sussex, NB. The building has been restored to its original grandeur and is situated in the hub of the Town of Sussex. The Victorian-era structure houses many of the important artifacts of the museum and is accessible to the general public. Since the later part of the 19th century, countless Hussars arrived by rail to train at Camp Sussex and later to serve in the South African War, WWI and WWII.
    The collection includes many items representing the life of the Regiment with original uniforms dating back to 1881, original Routine Orders dating back to 1893, memorabilia from members who represented the Regiment at Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, WWI, WWII, UN/NATO peacekeeping tours as well as the Afghanistan engagement. Of particular interest are the flags from each of these eras. The Museum also proudly holds the original accouterments of HRH The Princess Royal who is Colonel Commandant of the Regiment.
