Cupar
Heritage Museum began with a board being formed under the town
of Cupar bylaw in 1990. With assistance of the Town of Cupar,
the Cupar Historical Committee, the Hungarian Dance Club, the
Lions Club, various donations, fund raisers and much help from
many volunteers and board members, the museum officially opened
on Sunday, June 3, 1995.
The Museum
is housed in two buildings, the old Masonic Hall built in 1915
and the old curling rink built in 1954. At the present time the
display area covers some 343 square meters and a workshop area
of 90 square meters. The displays represent many facets of life
in Cupar and District from the early pioneer days to the present
time. They include cultural, religious, sports, homemaking, medical,
military, farming and other historical views.
The museum
is opened seasonally from May long weekend to the long weekend
in September with other visits available by contacting the town
office or a museum board member.
