BC Farm Museum is re-opening its doors with COVID-19 precautions never seen in human history.

The museum, run by volunteers, will open starting Monday, July 6 and visitors will notice some changes.

鈥淔ollowing the COVID-19 safety protocols, there are some basic measures that we have put in place to protect the health of both visitors and our volunteer staff,鈥� said Mick Prangnell, with the museum.

The museum houses thousands of artifacts related to local history and they will still be available for viewing but the public won鈥檛 have the same access as in the past.

鈥淎s the artifacts cannot be sanitized continuously, we request that you do not climb onto carriages or tractors for photo ops,鈥� he explained. 鈥淎lso please refrain from touching artifacts, you don鈥檛 know who touched it before you.鈥�

The museum will have bathrooms available for patrons and has instituted sanitation practices in line with provincial and WorkSafeBC guidelines.

Unfortunately for now, the museum is not able to offer one of its most popular highlights 鈥� demonstrations of the heritage machinery and artifacts.

The museum is located next to the 91原创 Centennial Museum (which currently remains closed to the public) at 9131 King St. in Fort 91原创.
