MIDLAND – The Huronia Museum, dealing with the aftermath of two floods that damaged artifacts, has closed its doors to the public in the middle of its peak season.

Some laminate flooring was too damaged to save, said executive director Nahanni Born, adding she is unsure of the overall value of what was lost.

The museum’s Huron/Ouendat Village and its day camp are still operating.

The damaged artifacts were sitting on the floor and are textiles, wood and porcelain, which can be dried fairly easily, she said.
