This part of the museum was originally built as an office for the Knox Presbyterian Church in 1959. It was appointed the Pointen Gallery in 2001 in honour of Bessie and Ivan Pointen, the driving force behind the creation of the Museum and long time leaders in our community.
The Pointen Gallery is our dedicated art space and often hosts monthly art exhibitions featuring artists from around the Mountain View County area. Named in honour of Bessie and Ivan Pointen, the driving forces behind the creation of the Museum and long time leaders in our community.
