On today’s show, we visit the Keillor House museum in Dorchester to hear about a cylinder music box that was a wedding gift to Thomas Keillor and Mary Jane Moore back in 1851.

And next week Tantramar council is expected to consider a rural streetlight program which would see up to 27 LED lights installed in former LSD areas, but could also mean an increase in former LSD tax rates to cover the cost.
