The Jack Miner Museum is thrilled to announce the completion of a transformative revitalization project, which significantly enhances the presentation of Jack Miner’s legacy.

As part of the Young Canada Works Program, third-year History and Sociology student, Sheena Bennett, has worked diligently over the summer to refresh and reimagine the museum’s exhibits, providing visitors with a deeper, more personal connection to the renowned conservationist.

This summer, Sheena undertook a comprehensive overhaul of the museum’s collections.

She implemented a thematic approach that highlights the key aspects of Jack Miner’s life and work, starting with his early days at his family’s brick and tile factory, culminating in his later life’s conservation efforts.

This reconceptualization of the exhibit space not only improves the flow and accessibility of the exhibits, but also emphasizes the human stories behind Miner’s contributions.

The museum now features new additions and enhancements that bring Miner’s story to life.

These include a plethora of his original belongings like his passport, glasses, and fountain pen used to draft his influential writings and publications.

The Jack Miner Migratory Bird Foundation welcomes visitors from the Windsor-Essex region and beyond to explore the refreshed exhibits.

Whether you’re a long-time supporter or a first-time visitor, there’s something new to discover at The Jack Miner Museum and Sanctuary.

During the summer season until August 31, 2024, The Jack Miner Museum is open to the public every day from 10AM – 3PM.

Everyone is encouraged to visit and experience the newly revitalized exhibits.
