The Dauphin Rail Museum will open its doors today for the first time since fall 2020.
This comes as museums and other social facilities across the province were given the green light to reopen last Saturday as a part of phase two in Manitoba’s 4-3-2-One Great Summer Reopening Plan.
Jason Gilmore, President of Dauphin Rail, emphasized how excited the museum is to have guests back.
“The Dauphin Rail Museum is extremely excited to welcome back visitors to the museum. We’ve incorporated a lot of changes. So yeah, I think even people who have been to the museum will see some significant changes in what we have to offer.”
Gilmore outlined some of the guidelines the facility is following,
- 50% capacity in the museum.
- Visitors must be double vaccinated.
- Any guest under 12 years old must be accompanied by someone fully vaccinated from the same household.
- Mandatory mask use.
Aside from the reopening, Gilmore mentioned the significance of this year for the history of rail in Dauphin, with it being the 125th anniversary in November of the rail being laid across Main Street.
