Changing Theme
The Canby Depot Museum is full of vintage memorabilia depicting
Canby’s early days and we are always adding to or changing our
exhibit displays. From pioneer farming tools to Native American
artifacts, we have something for everyone’s interest.
To name a few exhibits, there are:
Nostalgic school memorabilia;
Knight and Lee photos and history (Canby’s founding families);
Our area flower growers display;
The Yoder Store collection;
Postal Service display;
Our local doctor/dentist displays;
Antique toys and telephone display (yes, actual rotary dials!);
The Jerry Spurlock Print Shop that was operational circa 1900 near
Aurora
We have also had restored the Tryber & Sweetland (1899) pump organ
from the Rock Creek Church, which now plays beautifully. If there is
an organist out there who would like to try it out, you are most
welcome!
There are many, many more exhibits on display, as well as hundreds
of files in our history archives for student research, and notebooks
full of vintage photos.
Do you collect something special?
Although the Canby Depot Museum has a growing list of private
collections in our displays, we are always looking for more.
If you, family or friends collect something unique or mundane, we’d
love to hear about it! Maybe we’ll invite you to share your
collection as a special exhibit or present it at one of our monthly
public programs. Or maybe we’ll turn to you as our local expert if
we have questions about similar items. In any case, let us know what
favorite things you collect.
