COMMUNITY ENGAGMENT


What the community is saying

Attending Events Hosted by the Heritage Museum have been very organized and enjoyable. From Learning Traditional Dances or educational workshops and fundraising galas I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the passion and commitment of the heritage museum team. Their events not only bring people together but also inspire action and drive meaningful change. I'm looking forward to attending more events.
