ESTEVAN - The Souris Valley Museum celebrated its birthday on Wednesday with free cupcakes and free admission for guests.

Most of the items found within the collection of the museum were donated by Stanley and Georgina Durr.

The collection was originally displayed at their farm and was relocated to the current Souris Valley Museum.

The museum’s records show that on Sept. 22, 2001, it opened to the public for the first time.

Twenty years later in the same manner the museum invited the community to share the big date with them.

Stanley and Georgina's family members also stopped by. Their great-grandson Liam Durr, his friend Baya Summers and their daughter-in-law Brenda Durr explored the displays. Brenda, who was at the museum opening 20 years ago, said the Durrs would be really proud to see how the museum has grown and developed.
