The Glenella Lansdowne Heritage Resource Tourism Committee is in the process of converting the former Arden United Church into a heritage museum. The museum committee first met in early spring to start figuring out the logistics of the project. Currently, they are moving some of their donated artefacts into the building and plan to start setting up the layout on July 6.
