Montague's Garden of the Gulf museum re-opens
Museum will open without a genealogist on staff
After suspending operations in June, the Garden of the Gulf museum in Montague, P.E.I., is opening its doors Monday afternoon.
The opening is a month later than usual, and the museum will be operating with fewer staff.
The museum lost a long-time staff person last year, and the board said it took longer than expected to replace them with a new development coordinator.
Two summer students have also been hired as guides, however the museum no longer has a genealogist.
"We don't really feel it's going to hinder our value to the public as far as the museum itself goes," said board chair John MacDonald.
"I feel great, and I think we have a very excellent and ambitious staff. We have two young guides who I think are going to be excellent and they are both bilingual."
The hours for the Garden of the Gulf museum have also changed slightly — it will be closed on Saturdays and Monday mornings, but open Sunday afternoon.
