Local Author Barry Sanford to Speak at Okanagan Heritage Museum The Okanagan Heritage Museum
	Time:

In conjunction with the grand re-opening of the Myra Canyon trestles this summer, the Okanagan Heritage Museum is hosting a local author and Kettle Valley Railway historian in a lecture that is open to the public. Barry Sanford, author of McCulloch’s Wonder and Steel Rails and Iron Men, will be at the museum on Thursday, July 17 at 7:00 p.m. to speak about his experience with the Kettle Valley Railway. The Kettle Valley Railway earned its nickname “McCulloch’s Wonder” from the railway’s chief engineer, Andrew McCulloch, who built the railway across the backbone of three mountain ranges and what are considered some of the most rugged river canyons on the face of the earth. The Okanagan Heritage Museum is pleased to host Sanford and to invite the public to this unique opportunity to meet and speak with a renowned local author and historian. Admission to the public lecture is by donation. The Okanagan Heritage Museum is located at 470 Queensway Avenue, corner of Ellis and Queensway. For more information please call (250) 763-2417. The Okanagan Heritage Museum is a facility of the Kelowna Museums Society, a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to a greater awareness of the agricultural, wine-producing, military, and cultural heritages of the Okanagan.
