iii. Exhibits : Three rotating exhibits were displayed by the Museum in 2015

Gowan’s Brandon Then and Now (January – April 2015)

Daly House Museum in partnership with the S.J. McKee Archives hired part-time researcher Morganna Maylon to research the history and locations of fifty photographs of Brandon scenes by photographer Frank Gowen c. 1912. Morganna spent 481.15 hours on research and production of the exhibit. Local photographer and videographer Graham Street volunteered to recreate Gowen’s images by taking photographs of the 1912 locations in the modern City of Brandon.

The exhibit concurrently opened on January 21, 2015 at Daly House Museum and at the Tommy McLeod Curved Gallery at Brandon University. Each institution displayed fifty photographs – twenty-five “Then” photographs and twenty-five “Now” photographs.

“What a great idea for an exhibit.” commented Myrna Lane while viewing the exhibit. “It’s important to preserve the ever changing scenery.” Joan and Russell Lawrence commented in the guest book “Sad to see so many beautiful pieces of architecture demolished! Great exhibit. Good idea – then & now.”

Prior to the exhibit’s opening the project received publicity in the Winnipeg Free Press, The Ottawa Citizen, The Leader Post, The Calgary Herald and the Brandon Sun. This publicity resulted in the Museum being able to make connections with members of the Gowen family who had never seen their grandfather’s photographic work from Brandon.

The project unexpectedly created a couple of side projects including:

A Stories from Home documentary for MTS TV: While recreating these photographs Graham Street and fellow videographers produced a documentary on the project for MTS TV’s Stories from Home series. The documentary followed the exhibit’s creation from beginning to end. The documentary is currently airing on MTS TV. Cool Things in the Collection: Gowen’s Brandon Then and Now article in the winter 2015 edition of the Manitoba Historical Society’s Manitoba History Magazine.

Smocks, Frocks and Covers Exhibit (June 20, 2015 to August 15, 2015.)

Aprons displayed during the Smocks, Frocks and Covers Exhibit.

Daly House Museum’s new exhibit Smocks, Frocks and Covers opened to the public on June 20, 2015. The Museum was delighted to showcase eighty-two aprons personally collected by Helen Drysdale, director of the Beautiful Plains Museum in Neepawa, Manitoba. Helen began collecting aprons when she discovered an unfinished flour sack in her late Mother-in-law’s belongings. Through the designs and styles of the aprons on display the exhibit questions society’s view that women’s handiwork is a craft rather than an art form. Each apron on display were made by individuals rather than mass produced on an assembly line. They reflect a moment in the life of their creator as the decorations, colors, and patterns were chosen by the individuals who would wear the aprons.

“When viewed as a work of art, there is a higher appreciation for the time and craft involved.” commented Franchesca Hebert-Spence, Daly House Museum Exhibition Intern. “And while the artists of these beautiful creations are maybe unknown, the flair and skill required to craft these pieces is evident.”

http://www.dalyhousemuseum.ca/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Portuguese-Apron-webphoto.jpg


“The aprons showcased in this exhibit are not just an item that our Grandmothers or Mother’s may have made or worn but a reflection of the changing attitudes of society and the role of feminism towards the role of women.” stated Museum Curator Eileen Trott.

Children were able to enjoy the exhibit as much as the adults through activities in a discovery kit related to the exhibit. The discovery kit was available at the front desk for families visiting the Museum over the summer.

Settling the Prairies (September 3, 2015 – January 31, 2016) Our brand new exhibit, Ceramics: Settling the Prairies opened Thursday, September 3rd, 2015. This exhibit had been a two year labour of love on behalf of our Exhibition Intern Franchesca Hebert-Spence and the Museum was ecstatic to showcase our expansive Victorian ceramic collection in this fashion. The exhibit sought to understand the dynamics between the budding city of Brandon, the waves of immigrants coming to Canada and the effects imports had on available tableware. The exhibit featured a variety of collections like Spode, Madalta, Blue Willow, Belleek and Staffordshire, just to name a few.

iv. The Collection

The Museum received twenty-one donations totaling over eighty objects in 2015. Donated items included a crokinole board, silver calling card tray, family photographs, china, clothing and the Wheat City Business College Hockey team from 1912-1914. One of the most interesting items donated was an Ojibway willow basket. This fantastic addition to the Daly House collection comes from Margaret Masar of Orofino, Idaho. She was a resident of Brandon back when the Museum was operating as The Maples children’s home. The basket was given to her grandfather Lt. Col. Francis Joseph Clark and was intended as a cradle for her uncle, William Francis McKinnon Clark. William was born on Aug 5, 1909 which makes the basket approximately just over 100 years old. Lt. Col. F.J. Clark had a distinguished military record, serving in the 1885 Northwest Rebellion, the Boer War in South Africa and leading a battalion in World War I. He later became a vibrant member of the community in Brandon’s founding years. He was actively involved in the arts and municipal affairs.

Ojibway basket donated in 2015.


v. Volunteers, Members and Staff

Volunteer Commitment: The Museum’s volunteer base has been actively involved in various events and in serving on the board of directors. The current total of active volunteers is twenty. These volunteers have put in a total of 10,000 plus hours towards the Museum. The estimated value of the work performed by our volunteers based on Statistic Canada’s figure of $19.04 for the average hourly wage in Manitoba is $190,400.00 Special thanks to the following volunteers for their support of the Museum in 2015: Sylvia Barr, Shirley Bleackley, Trish & George Buri, Shari Dressler, Linda Evans, Murray & Janet Graham, Merle Henry, Mavis Johnston, Jane Kingston, Nikhil Kulkarni, Edie Mowat, Jeanne & Lorne Mustard, Mary Nelson, Stephanie Doerksen, Fred Eslinger, Bob Booth, Yuly Rosas, Kathy Thornborough, Tom Mitchell, Tim & Marcia Wiebe, Donna Henderson, Alex Essery, Brenda Hyde, Gary Palmer, Karen Chrest and the Westman Gardeners Club.

Thornborough and Jeanne Mustard. Daly House Auxiliary President’s Report

This has been a typical busy year for our Auxiliary members. Several members and their families have dealt with health issues and our average attendance at meetings is a bit lower, but we still have managed to get a lot accomplished.

We contacted Arm Industries, and have purchased magnetic nametags for ourselves, the curator and other volunteers, with Daly House’s new logo on them. We had expected to purchase a new Christmas tree in the fall, but thanks to an unexpected donation from Samaritan House, we did not need to do so. However, we did purchase 2 heavy duty “Z” type hanging garment racks, and also contributed to the supplies needed to improve the archival filing system.

Members made era appropriate dainties and helped to serve at both the Mother’s day tea, and at the new event “Mrs. Coldwell’s Patriotic tea” in November. Both events were very well received by the public. Members also made cookies and helped to purchase supplies for the refreshments served to museum visitors during December. Most members were involved in some way or another in helping with the Strawberry Social in the summer-again a very popular event.


This August, 7 members took a drive out to Wawanesa, for a hot dog lunch and a personal guided tour of their community museum. It was a lovely afternoon, complete with tea before heading home.

Our wonderful treasurer, Mavis was given the volunteer of the year award by the Daly board at the Museum’s annual meeting in March. A very well deserved honor. Members continue to be active around the museum, helping in the office, or like Sylvia, playing a leading role in the garden.

Our present executive has all agreed to continue in their positions for another year. Mavis will serve as treasurer, Shirley as secretary, Linda as vice president, and Jeanne as president.

We continue to look ahead- inviting others to join us. We have discussed creating homemade souvenirs- sachets from the garden, knitted mug warmers, pot holders, etc. for Museum guests to purchase. We are also having sewing bees to create more aprons and sunbonnets for young girls’ parties in the Daly garden. Our meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of the month, except for the summer and December, and often include a bag lunch or pizza to see us through our tasks!

Respectfully submitted, Jeanne Mustard, Auxiliary President

Memberships:

The Museum currently has ninety-eight members in our various membership categories. There is one benefactor member, two business members, forty-one family members, fifteen individual members, two patron members, twenty-four senior members and four sponsor members. However the income from memberships has declined by 8% from 2014. While membership numbers over the last eight years have remained relatively stable the Museum still faces an aging membership and therefore our membership numbers could decline in future years. Temporary Staff: Grants from Manitoba Heritage, Young Canada Works and Canada Summer Jobs enabled the Museum to hire three summer interns and a research assistant. The temporary staff was hired to produce exhibits, create a summer children’s program, and add archival records to the Manitoba Archival Information Network. The temporary staff members were Franchesca Hebert-Spence, Jenna Cuggy and Ellen McCarville. Full Time Staff: The Museum curator performs daily administration, curatorial duties (cataloguing and labeling artifacts), environmental monitoring, research, exhibit planning and conservation), coordinating and training volunteers and temporary staff, public relations, education and Museum tours. vi. Community Partnerships: The community uses the Museum as a resource for exhibits, education

and expertise on preserving historical artifacts and genealogical information. The Museum also partnered with the following local organizations and individuals.

Doors Open 2015 – July 2015: In co-operation with the City of Brandon’s Heritage Department, Daly House provided free tours to the public. Over one hundred individuals toured the Museum during the two day event. .

Heritage Co-op: Daly House partnered with Heritage Co-op to sell hot dogs as a fundraiser during July 2015.


Traveler’s Day Parade: The Museum participated in the Traveler’s Day parade.

Prairie Public History & MTS TV’s Stories from Home:

A Stories from Home documentary for MTS TV was produced while recreating photographs for the Gowen’s Brandon Then and Now Exhibit by Graham Street, Nate Bower and Shaun Cameron. The documentary followed the exhibit’s creation from beginning to end. The documentary is currently airing on MTS TV.

Archival resources were used to create Stories from Home documentaries for MTS TV entitled Wheat City Brandon: The Making of a Modern City 1900-1910 documentary produced by Tom Mitchell looks at the Brandon in the early 1900s. Both documentaries can be found on MTS TV.

Children’s Garden Planting (left): Students from New Era School planted the Museum’s Children’s Garden on June 2015.

Museum Maintenance: Thanks to the City of Brandon for their continued maintenance of the building. Planned upgrades to the Museum include a new eaves trough system, a ramp and a new sidewalk on the south side of the building.

viii. Publicity

The Museum produced various public service announcements on radio, television and local print media.

The Museum received publicity from the Winnipeg Free Press, The Ottawa Citizen, The Leader Post, The Calgary Herald and the Brandon Sun regarding the Gowen’s Brandon Exhibit. The project was also featured in the winter 2015 edition of the Manitoba Historical Society’s Manitoba History Magazine. Articles written by Suyoko Tsukamoto in the Brandon Sun on World War I featured photographs from the archives. The Museum produced two newsletters and contributed articles on the collection on Facebook and Twitter. The Museum also contributed photographs to the Throwback Thursday’s feature on Indeo.com. ix. Fundraising, Grants and other Revenue

Fundraising: The Museum had a number of successful fundraisers in 2015 raising a total of $8,493.50 in revenue. The amount of revenue generated through fundraising increased by 29% from 2014. The fundraisers hosted by the Museum included Nellie McClung & the Mock Women’s Parliament at the Annual Dinner, a strawberry social, Mother’s Day tea and Mrs. Coldwell’s Tea. Grants: The Museum received a total of $46,250.95 in grants from the Arts Stabilization endowment fund, the City of Brandon, Manitoba Heritage Grants, Young Canada Works and Canada Summer Jobs. This was $4,027.81 less than in 2014. The Museum received the following grants:

City of Brandon Community Grant: The City’s grant enabled the Museum to continue year round operations. Without this grant, the Museum would only be open in the summer months. The loss of a year-round Museum would limit the tourist activities available within the city and decrease the amount of funding from the government available to the organization. An increase in funding is required, as our


utility bills continue to increase and we wish to increase our curator’s wages as the position is under paid for the work required. The Museum received $25000.00 from the 2014 Community Grant. This grant has been reduced by $10,000.00 for the 2015 year.

Manitoba Heritage: The Museum received $ 10,020.50 in funding from the Province of Manitoba’s Heritage Grant program. These funds were used towards various projects including hiring staff to produce the 2015 exhibit “Ceramics Settling the Prairies”.

Young Canada Works and Canada Summer Jobs: The Museum applied for two summer interns under each of these programs and was awarded grants for three positions. The Museum received $9480.45 in funding for the two positions. Other Revenue: Admissions: The Museum raised $5,937.37 in admissions. This is a 20% increase from 2014 revenues. While it is difficult to know all the contributing factors to the admission increase, one of the factors can be attributed to the creation of the summer program Through the Looking Glass. Souvenirs Souvenir sales in 2015 were $591.00. Memberships: The Museum generated $2,180.00 in membership fees. This amount is a 29% decrease in revenue from 2014. Donations: The Museum received $3,825.91 in donations from the public. This amount is an 11% increase from 2014.
