Old Harry museums will be closed come Saturday

The Little Red School Museum and the Veterans Museum in Old Harry will close their doors for the rest of the summer season, starting Saturday.

The two institutions, managed by the Council for Anglophone Magdalen Islanders (CAMI), are left without staff for the remainder of the summer. The organization’s executive director, Lolita Alborghetti, states that the cultural mediation coordinator is on sick leave, while the three students hired as summer guides have resigned.

Although these two situations are occurring simultaneously, she explains that it is an unfortunate coincidence that led the board of directors to make this “exceptional” decision. No reopening date has been set yet.

These two closures come on top of that of the Entry Island Museum, which was unable to welcome visitors this summer due to inadequate septic systems.

However, Grandma’s Bakery Économusée, located in the basement of the Little Red School Museum, will remain open and accessible to the public.
