Biggar Museum and Gallery
The Biggar Museum and Gallery opened on September 30, 1972, due to the hard work and dedication of a group of members from the local community. First located in the basement of the Lionel A. Jones Library, the museum eventually outgrew its space and in 1993, Royden Donahue donated a building that would have allowed the museum to expand. Unfortunately, the building was destroyed in 1994 by fire, but the museum board decided to carry on with the move by building a new structure on the donated site. After approximately three years of major fund-raising and planning the Biggar Museum and Gallery celebrated its grand opening on October 4, 1997, at its new location at 105-3rd Ave. West.
This Biggar Museum and Gallery is more than just a museum. It not only houses a variety of historical artifacts that illustrate the town and districts history, but it also contains a gift shop and an art gallery that features a new show approximately every four to eight weeks.
