The fourth edition of our Adopt an ARTEFACT 2021 fundraising program is over, but you may still come see the adopted objects!

In order to allow us to pursue our goal of preserving and disseminating the rich cultural heritage that tells the story of our region, we offered the opportunity for everyone to adopt an artefact from the Colby-Curtis Museum’s collection for a period of one year.

The theme for this fourth edition was ‘A Visit to the Doctor’s Office’. All new objects in this edition were related to this theme, to recreate three medical events: a regular visit to the doctor’s office in the 19th century, a small emergency surgery in the kitchen and a departure for the war of a doctor during the 20th century.

All the objects of this fourth edition are displayed in the ‘Colbys of Stanstead’ permanent exhibition in the Museum and the ‘Old Trades’ permanent exhibition in the barn, until August 31, 2022.
