Heritage Fly Museum

Posted on April 22, 2011 by

The Heritage Fly Museum in Nanaimo’s Historic Old Quarter was demolished last month in the name of progress. And another piece of our collective identity bites the dust…

The first person to correctly name the location of this iconic landmark-that-is-no-more wins a micro-book (and I mean micro!) from Pig Squash Press. Go!

    WOOO HOOO! We have a winner! Yes, the now-demolished Heritage Fly Museum was indeed housed in the front window of the no-longer-there Buckerfield’s building on Selby. If you give me your address, Theresa, I will mail you your prize. 😉
