There is a small archives which contains material of families and events in the community.
The Bowden Pioneer Museum offers the use of its artifacts to high-school multi-media classes as a base for
projects. These projects count toward their final marks.
Tours of the museum are offered to the school for any grades, but most used by the elementary grades. The
Bowden Pioneer Museum makes its facilities available to the school at any time, but prior arrangements must be
made when the museum is closed.
