Giant Apple Part of Monument Planned for Entry to Salmon Arm Heritage Attraction
The museum says the truck and apple will highlight Salmon Arm’s orchard history, and it is not seeking city funding.
- Haney Heritage Village and Museum is requesting city support to erect a monument at the 751 Highway entrance featuring a restored 1929 Model A Ford truck carrying a giant apple on a constructed base.
- Rather than commemorating one specific event, the monument represents the important role the apple industry played in Salmon Arm's development, honoring the broader historical significance of orchards.
- Though the attraction needs selective tree removal to ensure visibility from the Highway, the monument is positioned to maintain clear sight lines; the city owns the property but the Museum is not seeking funding.
- On the agenda for the Sept. 28 city council meeting is a staff motion to approve the monument and selective tree removal, subject to applicable permits and requirements.
- Something monumental is in the works for the local heritage attraction, with the installation aiming to connect visitors with the stories preserved and interpreted by the Museum.
