Robson resident Bradley SaintJohn has started work on a virtual online Robson Museum. SaintJohn moved to Robson two years ago and, as he learned more about the town, he decided to create an online museum. “I started thinking about the history of Robson and how it was named 17 years before the first house in Castlegar was built,” SaintJohn said. “The history here is rich and it deserves to have a museum so people that lived in the area can revisit or new people can learn about Robson,” he added. Through the virtual museum SaintJohn is hoping to show how the area has progressed. SaintJohn also wants to incorporate audio and video into the museum. As of July 25, SaintJohn was editing a video from the Castle Bar Ranch from 1952, which will be up on the website as soon as it is edited. He is hoping more people can bring him old home footage which he can use. As well, he wants to interview old residents so they can record their stories of Robson. “My offer to the people of Robson is if you have photos of Robson, I’ll take them and digitize them and return the originals back at no cost to them,” SaintJohn said. SaintJohn went on to say those who contribute get a chance to leave a lasting legacy, as the family would get recognition for the submission. “One offshoot of this museum is to help promote tourism in the area and my websites tend to be found by people from around the world,” SaintJohn said. He would also like to photograph any old artifacts or anything people think is a part of Robson history to put up on the website. As well as the Robson museum, SaintJohn has already created a horse shoe museum and an Ocean Falls museum. To view these and the Robson museum please visit www.HorseShoeMuseum.com, www.OceanFallsMuseum.com or www.RobsonMuseum.com. If you have any pictures, video, audio or any stories you would like to contribute to the virtual museum, please call Saint John at 250-304-2708. 304.8400
